[MonoDevelop] can't start MonoDevelop (dll not found: gnomesharpglue-2)

[Zbynek Vrastil]

Thanks for the info, but unfortunately, something other has to be wrong 
on my computer. I have added the library into ld.so.conf and executed 
ldconfig. The output of the command

$ldconfig -p | grep gnomesharpglue-2

gives

libgnomesharpglue-2.so (libc6) => 
/usr/local/mono-1.1.9.1/lib/libgnomesharpglue-2.so

but the error after running monodevelop is still the same. Any other ideas?

regards, Zbynek
