monodevelop error on startup

I've installed monodevelop on xfce using pacman. When I try to run it I get this error... I'm a beginner in .NET programming and I can't understand...

Unhandled Exception: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: ApplicationName='pkg-config', CommandLine='--variable=libdir art-sharp-2.0', CurrentDirectory='', PATH='/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/mozilla/bin'

Re: monodevelop error on startup

SOLVED!!

here is a FAQ answer:

MonoDevelop uses pkg-config to locate installed packages and get the list of assemblies that each package provides. A package specifies this list of assemblies in a .pc file which has to be installed in the standard pkg-config directory.

I think should be better add pkgconfig as dependency

Re: monodevelop error on startup

Pkgconfig is pretty essential for a lot of packages actually. If you have Xfce installed, surely pkgconfig should have slipped in somewhere...
