Problems building f-spot (gtk-sharp)

["Warren Baird" <photogeekmtl gmail com>]

Hi all,

Not sure if I should be asking this here or on the mono
lists...   I'm trying to build f-spot from source, since the
binary included with ubuntu seems quite old, but I'm running into
trouble with gtk-sharp.

I've grabbed the version from svn, but when configuring it, it dies with:
checking for MONO_CAIRO... configure: error: You need to install
Mono.Cairo.dll and its pkgconfig file or set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to find it.

As far as I can tell, Mono.Cairo is part of the base mono
package.  The f-spot 'Building' page says that any version of mono
after 0.28 will do, but you need the  svn version of
gtk-sharp...   Does this message mean that the svn version of
gtk-sharp will only work with the svn version of  mono?  I've
currently got the most recent version of mono available through
ubuntu:  1.1.8 

Does anyone know what version of mono is required to get the svn
version of gtk-sharp to work?   I'm not usually into running
bleeding edge stuff unless I have to - is it enough to build mono
1.1.13 - or do I need the svn version?

It'd be useful if this info was on the 'Building' page...

Thanks!

Warren
