I don't think it is related to your problem and doubt that it may
actually solve it, but  for your convenience you could consider adding
two adding fsc and fsi scripts to your /usr/local/bin folder.
They should look something like that (depending on your system paths):

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/mono /usr/local/src/FSharp/bin/fsc.exe $@

and for fsi of course:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/mono /usr/local/src/FSharp/bin/fsi.exe $@

Thanks to that you can run fsc and fsi with a single command without
all that typing.

Cheers,
Piotr
