Mono using MPAPI

Question

How do I include the mono MPAPI libraries in a program? is there a GMCS command or am I referring to the library wrong or is it for some reason not on my server? To help, below is my mono version and the error message I get when trying to compile the code. Not seeing any good examples or documentation on this, and the program is compiling just fine in MS .NET But not mono on a remote server. =(

Here's my mono --version:

Mono JIT compiler version 2.0.1 (tarball) Copyright (C) 2002-2008 Novell, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com TLS: __thread GC: Included Boehm (with typed GC) SIGSEGV: altstack Notifications: epoll Architecture: amd64 Disabled: none

And the error message upon trying to compile: (relates to line: "using MPAPI;")



    Program.cs(5,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `MPAPI' could not be found.
    Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
    Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

Thanks!

How exactly do you compile it? This is usual error saying what it really is: assembly reference is missing (you can reference an assembly with -r switch, but the build system is really recommended here):

 (g)mcs -r:/path/to/MPAPI.dll Program.cs

Btw, your version of Mono is very old - I definitely recommend getting more recent one.
