[MonoDevelop] Gtk# project with parallel mono environment

[Nicholas Frechette]

I took a look at that section, modified my environment script accordingly
however, the same still happens.
My source script looks as follow, and find attached a stdout/stderr log of
what happens when I open monodevelop, create a new gtk# project and attempt
to open a designer view.

#!/bin/bash
MONO_PREFIX=/opt/mono-2.6
GNOME_PREFIX=/usr
export MONO_GAC_PREFIX=$MONO_PREFIX
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
export
DYLD_LIBRARY_FALLBACK_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_FALLBACK_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/include:$GNOME_PREFIX/include
export ACLOCAL_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/share/aclocal
export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig
PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/bin:$PATH
PS1="[mono] \w @ "


Note that I do see that it fails to find glade# when i build gtk# but it
finds it when I build monodevelop... through the /usr/lib/pkgconfig

Setting MONO_GAC_PREFIX in the way I did above doesn't seem to help even
though it is 'not empty'.

Thanks,
Nicholas
