[ptx] help gentoo amd64 problems

[Hal V Engel]

I finally got around to trying to get Hugin working on my Gentoo amd64 machine 
today.   I installed Hugin using the hugin-0.5_beta4 ebuild that is on 
bugs.gentoo.org.  This actually installs Hugin 0.5 beta3 but the ebuild is 
for gcc 3.4 which is what is the stable version of gcc is on Gentoo amd64.   
The installation worked and Hugin is running with only a few Hugin specific 
problems which are minor.  But I am having significant problems getting 
libpano12 working and autopano-sift/mono installed.  Perhaps someone here can 
help out.

I have tried installing libpano12 from both the ebuild in the Gentoo portage 
tree and the ebuild located on bugs.gentoo.org located here 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=47434&action=view .  Both are 
libpano12 version 2.7.0.8.  When I try to stitch using either of the 
libraries build with the 2 ebuilds in Hugin I get the following error:

Stitching failed
PTStitcher exited with nonzero error code.

Not very usefull error message and when I run Hugin from a CLI there are no 
error messages displayed in the CLI when this fails.  Can anyone give me some 
guidance on how to install libpano12 to get this working?  Is there something 
else that I need to install for this?

Mono is also being a real pain.  When I emerged mono (with dev-lang/mono 
~amd64 in package.keywords) it seems to work but nothing that is dependant on 
it, like gtk-sharp, will configure since no mono.pc was created in the 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH or anywhere for that mater. This was with mono 1.0.4-r1

I then tried using the latexer overlays on dev.gentoo.org which are supposed 
to work with amd64 and I can't get the mono overlay to compile.  This is mono 
version 1.1.4.  Does anyone here know what needs to be done to install a 
basic runtime mono setup on Gentoo amd64? I only need to install mono, 
gtk-sharp, libgdiplus and glade-sharp.  I have everything else needed by 
autopano-sift installed.

Here is what happens when I try to compile the dev version of mono:
