http://pythonnet.sourceforge.net/readme.html says: Note that if you are running under Mono on a *nix system, you will need to have a compatible version of Python installed. You will also need to create a symbolic link to the copy of libpython2.x.so (in your existing Python installation) in the PythonNet directory. This is needed to ensure that the mono interop dll loader will find it by name. For example: ln -s /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so ./python24.so

Which works fine, But the "official" way to do this is to use a Mono feature called DllMap, which is documented here: http://www.mono-project.com/Config_DllMap

In practice, this means you create a file named python.runtime.dll.config, with content: <configuration> <dllmap dll="python24" target="libpython2.4.so.1" os="!windows"/> </configuration>

The documentation at http://pythonnet.sourceforge.net/readme.html is outdated. The latest version of the readme and the latest source tree contain a sample of a config file. I didn't know about the possibility to define a Python.Runtime.dll.config file. I though one has to edit either the global config file or ~/.mono/config. I'm going to test it later and add it to the sources if it works. Christian
