[Mono-list] building from CVS

[Reggie Burnett]

OK, I have a fresh checkout.  The first thing I do is cd into mono and =
do
./autogen.sh --prefix=3D/usr/local

is this right?  When I do that it tells me I should copy some m4 file =
somewhere else.  It also tells me autoconf failed saying I need version =
2.5 of something.  It then continues on and fails in the same place =
saying:

./configure: error ./configure:  No such file or directory
configure: error: ./configure failed for libgc

This is on a stock Mandrake 9.1 box.
