What does this build error mean?

Is there a glitch with some newly added code, or is one of my dlls outdated (or missing)?

Also, for Frederik: I notice your Debian packages use libungif4 and libungif4dev instead of libgif4 and libgif4dev. Is there a reason for this?

The build issue should be resolved. That was an omission on my side.

As to referencing libgif4 etc and not their -dev counterparts, the reason is simple: to run Mono, you only need to have the libraries themselves installed, not the header files.

Because Mono uses P/Invoke to access these libraries, the header files are never used, not even when building Mono.

I hope that answers your questions.

Thanks Frederik that's good to know.

The changes fixed the build error - thanks
