           Summary: When Mono is installed on a machine in more than one
                    location, the default location is always used on
                    non-Windows platform when dynamically generating code
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 2.10.x
          Platform: 64bit
        OS/Version: Ubuntu

The bug occurs when calling CSharpCodeProvider's compiling methods, e.g.
CompileAssemblyFromSource().
Nop path is prepended to "mcs.exe" in this case, hence it's called from the
default location.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Call CSharpCodeProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource() passing any sane
parameters.

Actual Results:  
mcs.exe is called from the default location, which is not necessary within the
Mono installation currently running.

Expected Results:  
mcs.exe should be invoked from the location within the Mono installation
currently running.

I needed a quick fix, so I simply hard-coded the location of my installation in
mcs\class\System\Microsoft.CSharp\CSharpCodeCompiler.cs, CompileFromFileBatch()
function. Obviously this is a temporary solution only.
