Re: back to an old problem

[Jack <ostroffjh sbcglobal net>]

I'll have to read this again more carefully when I'm at home. However, I 
finally solved the problem of not finding libgtk-win32 by adding the 
dllmap statement to /etc/mono.conf.  With that alone, the 
configure/compile went fine.  I also manually updated to the 2.0 API 
versions of gtk-sharp and gtk-sharp-glib, pending Gentoo creating new 
packages.  Also - after those changes, I started with a fresh git clone.
