[MonoDevelop] decompilation failed

[ubuntuN00b]

Hello. Lets jump right into the meat of it:

<error>

I've used monodevelop just long enough to get this error so I don't assume I
know anything. However I'm willing to do the work and get this thing fixed
with or without help, so even if you don't know what's going on I could
really use some advice and ideas because I'm in over my head here.

What I know so far is that the error is caused by the missing Microsoft
library that I don't have because I'm on linux. I've found a crazy method of
downloading the files in linux but have no idea what to do with them.
Apparently this all has something to do with "cecil" not finding the file.

I don't know why it matters to have the file just to see the code, but my
plan now is to read the open source code for cecil and see what it should be
doing when it tries to find the file. If I can't work around what it SHOULD
normally do maybe I can hack it... If I can figure out what it is and how to
use it.

Thank you.
