Just a general FYI: This isn't a safe change to make.  The major so
number (3 vs. 0 in this case) are different for a reason. :)  It
indicates that the library interface is incompatible.  So if you do this
there is no guarantee that things will work... there's a good chance
it'll crash.

Is /opt/gnome/lib in your /etc/ld.so.conf or LD_LIBRARY_PATH?  Mono just
looks in those places for libraries like any other application.

But yeah, this looks like an evo-sharp issue.  It looks like the version
you're using doesn't handle the newer libebook interface.
