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

[Zbynek Vrastil]

Hi,

I have tried to compile whole mono & monodevelop from sources and now it 
works. To compile all necessary assemblies from gtk-sharp package, I was 
forced to install some extra gnome libraries I did not have (I'm using 
KDE), like libgnomeprintui, gnome-icon-theme and libpanel-applet, so I 
suppose that those missing libraries was, what caused my problems with 
starting monodevelop from binary package.

regards, Zbynek
