[MonoDevelop] Re: Cannot find assembly 'gecko-sharp.dll' errorwhen making MonoDevelop 0.3

[chris]

I'm also having the same problem on suse9.1 using gecko-sharp 0.3.  I 
think I got a little further but I'm still not able to compile.  In 
gecko-sharp.pc, I had to change the Lib path from:

-lib:${exec_prefix}/lib/mono/gecko-sharp

to

-lib:${exec_prefix}/lib/mono/gtk-sharp

the dll's was also a dead link to the non-local mono path which I had to 
change.

After changing those 2 things and doing a new ./configure I now get a 
little further but it stops with this error:

Anyone have any ideas? Am I doing something wrong.

Does it matter if the -r flag uses the assemply name with or without the 
.dll extension? (I've tried it both ways in gecko-sharp.pc)

PS: Sorry about not staying in the thread, I just joined the list :)

Old message starts here::

Thanks Todd,
Tried this, still got the same problem, tried rebuilding on a clean install=
  and still no luck.  I'm using a VMWare image if this helps, but the 
instal=
l seems ok.

Any other ideas would be gratefully received

Try installing gecko-sharp 0.3, you can get a link from the MD package
