[MonoDevelop] MD failed to start, ETA on MonoDevelop 2.0?

[fevans]

I've revisited monodevelop fairly regularly for the last year. I've never
managed to get it to start,  though this is by no means intended as a flame.
There are a lot of environmental factors conspiring against me (can't get
root, can't get yum, and numerous other self-inflicted corporate issues).

I've downloaded and compiled the monodevelop 1.0 source tarballs, plus
required support packages like gtk-sharp & glib.

POINTS TO NOTE:
1. I'm using the "mono-1.9_5-installer.bin". This is probably the source of
a lot of my problems. I've tried building from source (don't have access to
yum).  I suspect building from source would go smoothly if I could install
to the default paths /usr/lib, usr/bin. Unfortunately that's not an option.

2. When building monodevelop, there were numerous link errors to
"/usr/lib/mono", even though I specified a prefix to the actual mono install
location. After updating the Makefiles to point to the actual mono install
location, monodevelop built/installed without warning.


QUESTION
I'm looking forward to the MD2.0 release. Will there be an installer? (for
which distros).
