Replying to the original, since none of the intermediate messages added  
anything useful.

I tried all sorts of things, but what finally seemed to work is adding  
the dllmap entry to /etc/mono/config.  I have no idea if that is the  
"proper" way, but it seems to work.

I still can't run f-spot, but that's something for a  brand new thread,  
after I do some more troubleshooting on my own.  The short version is  
that with a command line configure and make, I get a variety of  
different errors.  However, trying to build with monodevelop gives me  
some compile errors - so I'm going to try to track them down first,  
before posting again.
