Hey Paul,

I didn't build from cvs, so I actually used ./configure, but yes, I did:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

In Ubuntu, the root account is disabled so generally we always use sudo. 
However, for other reasons I enabled the root account. So, logging into 
root (with su), I also tried "make install" and got the same error.

... which is quite odd now that I think about it... Why would it be 
complaining about /usr/local/lib when I configured using /usr? If it was 
going to complain, you'd think it would complain about /usr/lib. Weird. 
I originally tried configuring to usr/local/ but had some weird build 
errors so I redownloaded the source from mono-project.com/downloads and 
then built against /usr and it built without any problems.
