[MonoDevelop] Help! Missing DLL, where do I find it?

[Miguel Ángel Pérez]

Hey, I've found a fix for this.

You simply have to define an environment variable called MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
pointing to the root directory of firefox or mozilla.

In fedora when the firefox package gets updated the old one  can remain in
the /usr/lib directory so you must use the one for your current version.

I'm using this script to get the directory of the current firefox:

-----------------------------------------------
#/bin/sh
#get-fedora-geckoembed

#Find out the right firefox directory in fedora

for directory in `locate -e libgtkembedmoz.so | grep firefox` ; do
  directory=`dirname $directory`
  #The right directory have the firefox-bin executable
  if [ -x $directory/firefox-bin ] ; then
    echo $directory
    break;
  fi
done
-----------------------------------------------

And i call the script in my .bashrc to set the var

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=`get-fedora-geckoembed`

Hope this fixes your problem too.
