Please report what the output of "ls /usr/lib/libgnomesharp*" is, but i'm suspecting that no files ending in .so show up, and that you upgraded after syncing at least over 24 hours ago.

Try syncing your tree and emerging gtk-sharp, art-sharp, gnome-sharp and gconf-sharp over again. I commited a fix to gtk-sharp and friends recently that should have fixed this. Thanks.

[Comment 2 Alexander Hsia 2004-12-16 00:07:11 UTC]

You're right, I have no libgnomesharp*.so files in the lib directory. Off to sync and recompile. 

[Comment 3 Alexander Hsia 2004-12-16 17:28:47 UTC]

OK that did the trick. tomboy running fine now.

[Comment 4 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) 2004-12-17 11:00:02 UTC]

Ok, coo.. Marking FIXED.
