Using FFTW 3 DLL w/ CLR [DSP]

(This post regards compiling and linking to the FFTW library on
Windows. Apologies if this is off-topic here.)

I'm attempting to link an application to the FFTW .lib and .dll. I can
build and run a raw c++ sample application perfectly, as follows:

// testapp.cpp
#include "fftw3.h"
int main() {
const unsigned int INPUT_SIZE 100;
double* input = (double*)fftw_malloc(sizeof(double)*INPUT_SIZE);
fftw_complex* output =
(fftw_complex*)fftw_malloc(sizeof(fftw_complex) * INPUT_SIZE);

fftw_plan plan = fftw_plan_dft_r2c_1d(INPUT_SIZE, input, output,
FFTW_ESTIMATE | FFTW_UNALIGNED);

for (unsigned int ir = 0; ir != N; ++ir)
// fill input vector

fftw_execute(plan);

fftw_destroy_plan(plan);
fftw_free(input);
fftw_free(output);
}

build & link:
cl.exe /c testapp.cpp
link.exe /OUT:testapp.exe libfftw3-3.lib testapp.obj

However, when I move the application to the .NET CLR (that is, compile
with /clr), the app crashes with a System.TypeLoadException:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type
fftw_plan_s from assembly qpFFT, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null.
at main()

Note that this is the same exact code. The only exception is adding
'/clr' to the compile options.

Is anyone familiar with using FFTW in a managed setting? I'd rather
just use the first example, but, unfortunately, I'm trying to integrate
it into an application that makes heavy use of the managed extensions.

Thanks,

Ryan

Murphy's law....found it about 1 min after I posted this...some kind of
versioning issue with new MS compilers:
