Log on my experience installing Monodevelop Beta 2 from sources in Ubuntu 8.10 with Mono 2.2 already installed (the bolded steps are the ones that actually worked).
- Install gtk-sharp 2.8.5 with
configure --prefix=/usr
– FAILED on make from some missing pango, glib depencies
- Install mono-addins –prefix=/usr –enable-gui – OK
- gtk-sharp 2.8.5 — FAILS just as the previous
- gnome-sharp-2.20 — Shows some missing gapi-2.0 dependency. Decided try to fix this
- Install gtk-sharp-2.12.7 (ignoring some missing things) – OK
- Uninstall monodoc de gdeb – OK (after that I found that was not necessary)
- Install monodoc 2.0 –prefix=/usr – FAILS to some missing methods. Googling it seems that monodoc in now integrated with mono 2.2 but couldn’t find it. Decided to install monodoc 2.0 from apt-get again
- Install monodevelop-1.9.2 with ./configure –prefix=`pkg-config –variable=prefix mono` – OK
