I don't know if the .mdb (debugging) files are included in the
MonoDevelop.app; if they were you would want to add --debug in the mono
command line of /Applications/MonoDevelop.app/Contents/MacOS/monodevelop .
You can still get a useful stack trace even without debug information
(it just won't have line numbers and other niceties).
Either way, the output will go to Console.app. Or, if you prefer, you
can run the monodevelop script I mention above directly from Terminal.app.
Best,
Sandy
