Having problems with doing this, my pidgin uses a C# plugin but now runs
f-spot and banshee are humped with this error:

niadh at Aurora:~$ f-spot
Corlib not in sync with this runtime: expected corlib version 58, found 56.
Loaded from: /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll
Download a newer corlib or a newer runtime at http://www.go-mono.com/daily.

I fixed the pidgin problem by simply reinstalling the package that contained
mscorlib but it has not solved this, and not knowing which to compile and
which not to i don't want to shaft my system anymore than i have done.

I created the mono_env file and sourced into it, however the latest mono
wouldn't compile, but libgdi+ did, which i remember reading that i needed to
compile first.

Please find attached the build output of mono, hopefully it should have
enough information to find out what's going wrong.
