When I 
./autogen.sh --prefix=$MONO_HOME &&\
 make && make install

for gtksourceview-sharp I get an error message saying:

test -z "/opt/gnome/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs" || mkdir -p -- 
"/opt/gnome/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs"

And that is exactly what should happen when an install script tries to write 
to a system directory!  $MONO_HOME is where I said to put the results of the 
build process.  How do I report this bug?
