[MonoDevelop] Newbie question: Making a reference to a linux shared library

[alanb]

I am still not able to load the shared library. I have copied the shared
library into the /bin/Debug directory of my main C# app and set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be an absolute address. See below I have tried all
combinations of dll name in the DllImport statement including the full name
and not just the link.
<code>  
mono abtools.exe
Exception in Gtk# callback delegate
  Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to
handle the exception.
System.DllNotFoundException: libtest.so.1.0
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) emcConnect.EmcConnection:tryNml ()
  at MainWindow.OnAddActionActivated (System.Object sender, System.EventArgs
e) [0x00000] 
  at GLib.Signal.voidObjectCallback (IntPtr handle, IntPtr data) [0x00000] 
   at GLib.ExceptionManager.RaiseUnhandledException(System.Exception e,
Boolean is_terminal)
   at GLib.Signal.voidObjectCallback(IntPtr handle, IntPtr data)
   at GLib.Signal.voidObjectCallback(IntPtr , IntPtr )
   at Gtk.Application.gtk_main()
   at Gtk.Application.gtk_main()
   at Gtk.Application.Run()
   at abtools.MainClass.Main(System.String[] args)
alan at alan-laptop:/media/Data/CNC/abtools v1.5/abtools/bin/Debug$ echo
$LD_LIBRARY_PATHLD_LIBRARY_PATH$:/media/Data/CNC/abtools
v1.5/abtools/bin/Debug/
alan at alan-laptop:/media/Data/CNC/abtools v1.5/abtools/bin/Debug$ ls
abtools.exe          abwidgetlibrary.dll.mdb  GenTemplates.dll     
libtest.so.1.0
abtools.exe.config   basic.dll                GenTemplates.dll.mdb 
OpenTK.dll
abtools.exe.config~  basic.dll.mdb            GLWidget.dll         
OpenTK.dll.config
abtools.exe.mdb      emcConnect.dll           libtest.so
abwidgetlibrary.dll  emcConnect.dll.mdb       libtest.so.1
</code>
but I am still getting a not found exception. I am obviously missing
something simple but cannot see what is wrong. Any more suggestions would be
more than welcome.
