you mean MonoDevelop.

sudo? sounds like you have fucked up permissions/ownerships in your home
directory, check with:
cd ~
find -not -user $your_username -or -not -group $your_groupname

The Mono 1.1 packages and Mono itself got much better with 1.1.x

Sounds like an fucked install, probably caused by experiments or source
installs, purge _all_ mono and related packages, clean all left
directories and files (/usr/lib/mono* /usr/share/dotnet/*), remove
symlinks you may have added. And do a _clean_ install, voila everything
works.

nope, nothing to do with the packages, see above.

the mapping should NOT be done via symlinks, it breaks the versioning
sense at all with C libraries!
The proper way is to ship *.config dllmap files for each program/library
that tries to DllImport libraries, for an example take a look at
gtk-sharp.dll.config
