Installing Monodevelop Beta 2 (1.9.2) from sources in Ubuntu 8.10

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
