[Mono-dev] Library path bug in Makefile?

["Andrés G. Aragoneses"]

As far as I understand, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a system setting that mono
doesn't modify. If you want Mono to work out of the box without the need
to adjust LD_LIBRARY_PATH you need to install it in a standard prefix.
Some distributions consider /usr and /usr/local to be standard (note:
/usr/local/mono-3.2.8 != /usr/local), but I've also seen/heard issues
about people installing in /usr/local, so the safest bet is /usr
(although choosing /usr has the disadvantage that it can clash with your
system mono packages if you're not careful).

This is also a good read in case you need to use two different versions
of mono in the same system at the same time:
