Bug 217242

Which build on monodevelop are you using? 0.12-7 certainly has R gtk-sharp2-gapi
in it (this is what is needed for the gnome# 2 stuff)

It was the MonoDevelop found in the repositories, The Help>About menu says that
it is MonoDevelop 0.12.0.0 The Yum install gtk-sharp2* said that it installed
gtk-sharp2-docs and gtk-sharp2-devel. 

Running yum install gtk-sharp2* has NOT fixed the Gnome-sharp problems, however,
Gtk# 2 projects are possible, just not Gnome# will not compile.

rpm -qa monodevelop will help here.

I'll look into the problem and should hopefully have a fix at some point soon

[root@localhost $]# rpm -qa monodevelop
monodevelop-0.12-7.fc6

monodevelop is currently at version 0.12-8 - I'm not sure if that's the case in
fc6, but it is in rawhide - try the version from there and let me know if it's
still causing a problem

Is it still causing you a problem with the 0.12-8 release?

This problem seems still present both on F7 and F8T1. Yesterday I needed a
simple program, so I did a 'yum install monodevelop' on F8T1, run it, created a
Gtk project without problems, but when I tried to compile the project, I got the
error "The type or namespace 'Gtk' could not be found. Are you missing a using
directive or assembly reference?(CS0246)". Then I booted to F7, and tried the
same thing, and got the same error.
After looking a bit, I found that installing gtk-sharp2-devel fixes it. I
double-checked it now: a 'rpm -e gtk-sharp2-devel' makes the compilation fail, a
'yum install gtk-sharp2-devel' makes it work again.

So it seems that monodevelop should depend on gtk-sharp2-devel.

Trying the Gnome# 2.0 Project under Samples still fails. Again installing
'gnome-sharp-devel' fixes the error.

Both gtk-sharp2-devel and gnome-sharp-devel are near 4Kb in size each, so I
think is not a big problem.

Instead, to be able to read the gtk documentation, I need to manually install
'gtk-sharp2-doc'. It would be nice to have it pulled automatically, but is a bit
fat and not strictly required...

Is this happening with 0.17b2 in rawhide?
