[Mono-list] Configuring and making Mono Runtime

[Richard Anthony Hein]

I haven't done this for awhile (and I haven't much of a clue), as I have
been trying to get my system all set up with Debian Sid, reinstalling
Windows 2K (registry got screwed), and other stuff that has occupied my
time.

The last time I installed the Mono runtime, things worked fine.  Now it
seems that the instructions on  http://www.go-mono.com/download.html are not
correct.  I added the step of running autoconf before ./configure (as just
running ./configure first results in a path or file not found error).

What am I doing wrong or missing here?

$ autoconf
