Strange as I thought I had gudev. From autogen/config output:

Extra Features:

    GIO Backend:           yes (gio-sharp >= 2.99)
    GIO Hardware:          yes (gudev-sharp >= 3.0)

This error is really odd - there haven't been any changes to that for a while. Unfortunately gudev-sharp doesn't give much version information, my copy reports only that it's version 3.0.

What version of Ubuntu is this btw? (You may have said but I forgot and I'm too lazy to scroll all the way back up)

If you need to check what branch you're on try:

git status

The branch you want is called feature/csharp4.
