[mono-vb] Visual Basic not working?

This means that your mono version is 1.9.1 (the rest is irrelevant for your
problem, but indicates how mono was configured when built) - it does *not*
mean that your mono does not support ASP.NET version 2.0.50727.42 (which it
in fact does).

As you said, the problem might be that you don't have mono-basic installed
(try executing 'vbnc' in a terminal, if the command exists, mono-basic is
installed, otherwise you'll have to install from source).
