This is the mantra I use to build mono.  Install the fakeroot package
first, and build-essential.

You need the newest libsqlite3 as well, so it goes something like this:

1) aptitude -svv build-dep $PACKAGE > $PACKAGE-deps
2) su -c "aptitude build-dep $PACKAGE"
3) apt-get source $PACKAGE
4) cd into the directory that was created by the last command
5) dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b -rfakeroot
6) cd ..
7) install the .debs created
8) su -c "aptitude --purge-unused markauto `cat $PACKAGE-deps`"

Do this where $PACKAGE is sqlite3 first and then mono.  It should work.

Also, note that you don't need to compile using Mono to run your
application on Mono.  You should be able to copy the binary produced
by Microsoft's compiler on Windows and run it on Mono without
modification.
