Docky

System.DllNotFoundException: libgio-2.0-0.dll

Asked by hobofood

Running Docky-2 from monodevelop after grabbing the source from bzr throws the following error:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Docky.Services.DockServices ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Docky.Services.HelperService ---> System.DllNotFoundException: libgio-2.0-0.dll

  at Docky.Docky.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00094] in /home/hobofood/nerds/docky/Docky/Docky/Docky.cs:83

it occurs when DockServices creates the HelperService object. If I build the app with checkinstall and install it, then it runs fine.

Obviously, this is something I have set up incorrectly in monodevelop rather than a bug in Docky itself, but this seems to be the best place I can find to ask. What do I need to do to make it work?

Thanks.

Sorry, I just realised that this would be much more appropriate as a question. That's what I get for submitting bug reports at 7:30am

Don't run docky from monodevelop, we only use MD to write code. Try running from the terminal after using ./autogen.sh && sudo make install to build docky.

Can you help with this problem?
