DLL Config in Mono

I'm trying to pick up Svn.NET (http://www.pumacode.org/projects/svndotnet/) library for use in my Mono project. I tried compiling its mockapp -> svnmockapp project (http://www.pumacode.org/projects/svndotnet/browser/trunk/SvnMockApp) , I am able to get the references right and get it compiled right.

I understand that it references 2 other modules libapr (libapr-1.so.0) and svn_client (libsvn_client-1.so.0) , by which I've created PumaCode.SvnDotNet.dll.config in /bin/Debug .

That is all I've done to tried to try to get the mockapp at least outputting something to show that it is indeed interfacing SVN. Nevertheless, it is not working.

Commands that are entered that doesn't interface SVN works fine:

$ mono SvnTest.exe -usage
Usage: SvnTest <subcommand> [options]
Short Options: ~?.V
Subcommands: add, checkout[co], status[st], update[up]
For help on subcommands, use the -?/--help subcommand option.

Commands that tries to access SVN throws an exception:

$ mono SvnTest.exe st

Using MONO_DEBUG_LEVEL="debug", we get the following log pasted here.

At the tail end of the log, we see this:

I've tried to symlink the appropriate modules in the directory where SvnTest.exe exists, but this still persist.

How can I fix this?

Did I place the PumaCode.SvnDotNet.dll.config in the wrong folder? (I placed it at /bin/Debug and also tried /bin)

What can I do to remedy this?

Thank you for your kind help! Much appreciated!

Heres the config file:

(PumaCode.SvnDotNet.dll.config)

<configuration>
     <dllmap dll="libapr" target="/usr/lib/libapr-1.so.0"/>
     <dllmap dll="svn_client-1" target="/usr/lib/libsvn_client-1.so.0"/>
</configuration>

Your config file does not have the right dll reference. In the logs, Mono tries to load the libapr-1 library, but your config file has only an entry with libapr. I think the right mapping should be:

<configuration>
    <dllmap dll="libapr-1" target="/usr/lib/libapr-1.so.0"/>
    <dllmap dll="svn_client-1" target="/usr/lib/libsvn_client-1.so.0"/>
</configuration>

Solved it by manually adding the dllmap into /etc/mono/config , not the best way, but at least it worked.
