[MonoDevelop] MonoDevelop + Moonlight

 Hello all

Can anyone help me with this combo?  I've installed MonoDevelop v2.4,
and it runs, but when I tell it to make a test Moonlight app and try to
build/run it, it errors with "Framework 'Moonlight / Silverlight 2.0'
not installed", and if I expand all the References in the "Solution"
section, I get a bunch of "Assembly not available for Moonlight /
Silverlight 2.0 (in Mono 2.6.4)" messages, one under each reference. 
Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the Moonlight plug-in installed from
http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/, and it works on a Silverlight app I
wrote using Visual Studio & Silverlight in Windows.  Do I need it to be
in a system-wide location, and not just in my user profile?

Or maybe I need to install a "Moonlight SDK"?  I tried to find one of
these, but from what I gathered, this should have been bundled together
with the MonoDevelop sources, and I assume would have gotten built along
with it?  The availability of the choice "Moonlight application" in
MonoDevelop leads me to believe that it's built whatever it needs, but
I'm missing something.

I've also tried loading the VS 2008 solution I wrote (and successfully
built, and can successfully run on this system) into MonoDevelop, and
then I get the same errors I got before.

Documentation on the Mono, Moonlight and MonoDevelop pages is pretty
sparse when it comes to this combo; I'm getting the impression what I'd
like to do is very much under development, and perhaps just not ready
yet?  Or am I missing something?

Relevant info that I can think of that would be helpful is:

Mono has been built with the "moonlight" use-flag enabled, which says it
will "Generate Moonlight 2.1 assemblies".

If you need any further info, let me know.  Any help would be
appreciated.  Thanks.
