Wine + Mono + application = library not found?

[Seth Shelnutt]

Hello all,

I'm trying to see if I can get a folding monitor,
http://code.google.com/p/hfm-net/ working in Wine. I've installed the latest
wine, 1.1.20, and the latest mono for windows 2.4. It seems however that
either mono or Wine, I think wine, is not seeing the library file from gtk.
However it is in my lib folder. Does anyone have any idea where wine is
looking for the lib to be at? This is on a Debian "testing" (Squeeze I
guess, but I keep my repos under the "testing" and no name, I use the wine
"sid" repo) install.

When using win32 mono it should be using win32 gtk / gdk. I believe
those dlls have about the same names as the linux ones. Make sure that
win32 moni is really used. Second win32 mono only works for a limited
number of apps for most things you need ms .net. I would suggest to
try it using native mono first. Since the source is also around it
would also be easy to locate mono bugs (hopefully the app doesn't make
any win32 calls).
