[IronPython] ctypes on Mono

[Tristan Zajonc]

I'm running the the latest IronPython 2.6.1 (.NET 2.0 version) with Mono.  I
cannot import ctypes.

Is this behavior expected?  Any solutions?  Here are the exact results:

On OSX:
IronPython 2.6.1 (2.6.10920.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.1433
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ctypes
Traceback (most recent call last):
SystemError: libdl.so

On Ubuntu (using trunk Mono):

IronPython 2.6.1 (2.6.10920.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.1433
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ctypes
Traceback (most recent call last):
