CP-25587: QuickGraph with Mono

Hello,

I am trying to use QuickGraph.dll and QuickGraph.Graphviz.dll assemblies in my F# program. Open source compiler Fsharpc compiles properly. But when I use Mono to run the exe file (I am using Ubuntu 10.04), I get a System.TypeLoadException as shown below.

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: A type load exception has occurred.
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeLoadException: A type load exception has occurred.

By setting MONO_LOG_LEVEL to "debug", I understand that the problem is because Mono is not able to load System.Core.dll and System.dll referenced from within QuickGraph.dll and QuickGraph.Graphviz.dll respectively. There seems to be a Strongname (at the PublicKeyToken) mismatch between the System.Core.dll and System.dll assemblies referenced from within QuickGraph and the counterparts in Mono GAC (Global Assembly Cache). I can see that these assemblies are available in Mono GAC in my machine in folders /usr/lib/mono/gac/System.Core/4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089 and /usr/lib/mono/gac/System/4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089. But as shown below in output from MONO_LOG_LEVEL="debug" mono xxx.exe command, I understand that Mono is looking for these dlls in /usr/lib/mono/gac/System.Core/4.0.0.0__7cec85d7bea7798e/ and /usr/lib/mono/gac/System/4.0.0.0__7cec85d7bea7798e/ .

I have invested a lot of time in resolving this. On the brighter side, I understand things more clearly now.
Any help, suggestions on how to go about resolving this will be really helpful!!!

Thank you,

I copied all relevant dll files to my working directory and did a fsharpc --standalone build. Problem solved. But the disadvantage is that executable size gets big obviously. But at the moment I dont really care.
