Public bug reported: I have used Mono with LibreOffice in Ubuntu 11.04, and it worked quite well. In Ubuntu 11.10, the bootstrapping works, but I can't get an instance of the "com.sun.star.frame.Desktop" service which is required for creating or loading further services. The code in the attached file runs, and tells me that the requested loader is null.
Trying out the code: 1. Start Monodevelop 2. Create a new Command-Line project 3. Delete Main.cs from the project 4. Add the attached file called TestLibreOfficeBootstrap.cs to the project 5. Right-click on "References" in the project tree, select "Edit References" 6. Choose the ".Net Assembly" tab 7. Navigate to the path /usr/lib/cli/uno-1.0/ 8. Add all cli_*.dll to the project 9. Select the new references in the project tree, right-click on them and disable "Local copy" 10. Run the project (by pressing F5). On Ubuntu 11.04, the output is "Loader is not null", on Ubuntu 11.10, the output is "Loader is null". So the CIL Bindings for Libreoffice on 11.10 is completely useless for me right now.
