[Mono-dev] Problem creating a parallel mono environment

[Thiago Padilha]

  Hi,

  I'm trying to setup mono 2.6.4 on Ubuntu 10.04, but I have little
experience with linux, I'm following the instructions here -
http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments .
  The reason for that is to try monodevelop 2.4 which won't compile
against mono 2.4.4 that comes with ubuntu. I want to setup mono in a
private directory on my home folder ( ~/parallel/mono ) here is how I
configured the enviroment setup script :

#!/bin/bash
MONO_PREFIX=~/parallel/mono
GNOME_PREFIX=~/parallel/GNOME
export DYLD_LIBRARY_FALLBACK_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_FALLBACK_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/include:$GNOME_PREFIX/include
export ACLOCAL_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/share/aclocal
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig
export PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/bin:$PATH
PS1="[parallelmono] \w @ "

  Everything goes fine until I try to install, until some error pops
saying they can't write to directory usr/local/share/libgc(I execute
make install without root permissions).  Should'nt all the mono
binaries be installed on my private directory? Maybe I still need to
set another variable?
  All I want is to have complete control of a mono/monodevelop
instalation that sits on my home. Can somebody give me a light on
that?

  Thanks in advance.
