[Mono-dev] SVN based mono monodevelop install, but (new) moonlight project gives error

[ted leslie]

Now when I build a moonlight project
i get:

Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Path is empty
  at System.IO.FileStream..ctor (System.String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean anonymous, FileOptions options) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at System.IO.FileStream..ctor (System.String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) System.IO.FileStream:.ctor (string,System.IO.FileMode,System.IO.FileAccess,System.IO.FileShare)

  at ResourcePacker.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
Build complete -- 1 error, 0 warnings

So this is probably related to the other error, in that some primary path isn't set.
I tried setting the MOONLIGHT_SDK_PATH but that didn't help.

I am a bit confused on what/where exactly is the moonlight SDK (and with respect to svn as well),
the  

"You just have to download and extract my Moonlight SDK, extract it somewhere, then tell MonoDevelop where it using the MOONLIGHT_2_SDK_PATH environment variable:"

http://mjhutchinson.com/journal/2009/05/08/moonlight_development_linux_monodevelop

seems dated? and I can't find any other newer info.
