That won't work.  The .a is a static library, which isn't in the right format 
to be a .dylib.

It looks like your build system failed to detect dynamic library support.  You 
may want to check your libtool installation/documentation.  Try rebuilding 
pnetlib with "./configure --enable-shared" (although it should detect it by 
default).  Otherwise, drop into the #dotgnu IRC channel and ping "alias" or 
"absurd", who are our resident OS X experts.

Probably.  If it got far enough to access XsharpSupport, then it has already 
found libX11.dylib, which is the really important one.
