[Mono-list] new to mono Need help configuring - slackware 10 solution.

[Rhythm King Drums]

As root on slackware 10.0
The mono-1.1.8.2 generic binary install defaulted to /opt, this might 
have worked fine.
The .bashrc file did not work (very strange xml code).
I ended up uninstalling mono and re-installing to /usr/local/
I edited my .bashrc to have the following code.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/mono-1.1.8.2/lib/pkgconfig"
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mono-1.1.8.2/bin


I edited my path in /etc/profile (/usr/local/mono-1.1.8.2/bin) and now 
it works fine.
/etc/profile might be the place to have the .bashrc export code also???

Thanks to all for the help.
