Well, that did it, thank you!

Now for the next problem, I get this when trying to compile mcs:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jsf/src/mono/mcs/mcs'
mcs   -d:NET_1_1 -g /target:exe /out:mcs.exe AssemblyInfo.cs anonymous.cs assign.cs attribute.cs driver.cs cs-tokenizer.cs cfold.cs class.cs codegen.cs const.cs constant.cs convert.cs decl.cs delegate.cs enum.cs ecore.cs expression.cs flowanalysis.cs genericparser.cs interface.cs iterators.cs literal.cs location.cs modifiers.cs namespace.cs parameter.cs pending.cs report.cs rootcontext.cs statement.cs support.cs typemanager.cs symbolwriter.cs tree.cs cs-parser.cs

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jsf/src/mono/mcs/mcs'

Any ideas why?
