Several .NET libraries based on mono beta 3, such as gtk-sharp, gtksourceview-sharp, gecko-sharp, and monodoc, need to have their DLLs added to the GAC manually, using gacutil -i assembly.dll, or they will not be useable. This should be done by the ebuild so the installation can be useable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Um... the makefiles do this, but install them into the fakeroot, where they then get merged with the live filesystem. do "gacutil -l | grep gtk" for instance and you see the gkt-sharp, gtksourceview, gtkhtml-sharp, etc dlls. They do get installed via gacutil, so marking WONTFIX. If you can provide a specific bug where GAC problems arise, or one the assemblies actually isn't installed in the GAC, please feel free to reopen this bug. Marking WONTFIX.
