[MonoDevelop] Monodevelop broken after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10

[Jim Orcheson]

Hi Derek,

I am also having problems with MonoDevelop after upgrading to Ubuntu 
11.10. I do not get "no C# compiler for .Net 3.5" but there are no Gtk# 
libraries built for .Net 3.5 anymore. I changed the runtime version to 
Mono/.Net 4.0 to get my projects to build.

I still have a problem with NUnit. As soon as I attempt to run tests, I 
get "Internal Error. NullReferenceException at 
System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.PrivateInvoke(
System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy rp, IMessage msg, 
System.Exception& exc,
System.Object[]& out_args) [0x0000] in <filename unknown>:0"

I found that a number of packages have been removed and had to be 
installed after the upgrade, but I still have not found anything that 
will fix the NUnit problem.

Jim
