[Mono-list] Debian support

[Mike Christensen]

Ok here's my "Total friggen moron's guide to installing Mono 2.4 on 
Ubuntu Server" so far:

-) Logon to machine
-) At bash prompt, type: sudo bash
-) Enter password, you should now be root.
-) Type: apt-get install gcc (this will install C compilers)
-) Type: apt-get install pkg-config (this is a dependency for libgdiplus)
-) Type: apt-get install bison (should only take a few seconds to install)
-) Type: wget 
http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/libgdiplus/libgdiplus-2.4.tar.bz2
-) You should now have the file libgdiplus-2.4.tar.bz2 in your ~ directory
-) Type: tar -xpjf libgdiplus-2.4.tar.bz2 (this will decompress the tar 
file into its own directory)
-) You should now have a directory called libgdiplus-2.4
-) Type: cd libgdiplus-2.4/
-) Type: ./configure

Right now the error is:

No package 'glib-2.0' found

Should I apt-get install this from somewhere, or is there another tar 
file I need to decompress and build?  Thanks!!
