The problem is that openSuse keeps the USER environment variable set to your
user name instead of changing it to root.

$ su
# export | grep <yourusername>
..
USER="<yourusername>"
USERNAME="<yourusername>"
..

In ubuntu, you would get:
..
USERNAME="<yourusername>"
..

instead. Mono eglib relies on the USER environment variable.

Fixing...
