[Mono-list] Debian support

[Daniel Soto]

I recommend to you search for glib using Synaptic. I not remember the
name of these package and his exact name. The name is not "glib-2.0"
exactly, I believe (if my memory does not fail :-) ) that it is
"libglib-2.0-dev".

The most problems related to missing libraries when building, are
solved searching for "foolib-dev" as Abe says.
