Tried to emerge ipod-sharp-0.5.12, but received error about missing the mono.unix.native namespace. Upgraded mono to 1.1.12.1 and all was well. According to google, mono.unix.native namespace was added in mono-1.1.10. See: http://www.jprl.com/Blog/archive/mono/2005/Sep-20.html http://www.nabble.com/Compile-problems-t566713.html
Sorry, forgot to mention I had some version of mono-1.1.9.x installed when I first tried to emerge ipod-sharp.
yes you are right fixed in cvs.
