[MonoDevelop] Problem building MonoDevelop from svn

Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10

I had mono and MonoDevelop installed from gutsy packages, but as they're
several revisions back I though I'd try to build from svn.

So, I start off by uninstalling MonoDevelop and running these two
commands:

sudo apt-get install subversion mono mono-devel intltool automake
build-essential libglib2.0-dev
sudo apt-get build-dep monodevelop

I ran an apt-get to install the automake documentation.

Then I checked out mono-addins and monodevelop:

svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/monodevelop
svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/mono-addins

 I'm currently trying to build mono-addins. After running automake.sh I
ran:

./configure --prefix=/usr

and I get the following message when I run make:

./Mono.Addins.Gui/ManageSitesDialog.cs(98,66): error CS0246: The type or
namespace name `Exception' could not be found. Are you missing a using
directive or an assembly reference?

I'm presuming that perhaps I removed a bit too much, but I really don't
see how.

One other bit of info:  both 'gmcs --version' and 'mcs --version'
return:

Mono C# compiler version 1.2.4.0

I tried searching but didn't find anything appropriate. Any thoughts,
hints, pointers, URLs to read, etc will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
