That was the complete error message, some other applications do generate
more such as:
    Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type
'Docky.Docky' from assembly 'Docky, Version=0.1.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null'.
But still a one-liner.

See attachment for: (/opt/mono/bin/)mono --verbose --debug
/opt/mono/lib/monodevelop/bin/MonoDevelop.exe > monodevelop.txt
Not included is the error output which was the previous single line.

Is there any way I could have compiled mono or monodevelop with more
debugging info?

The second page is what I used to set up the environment.

I tried various MONO_GAC_PREFIX such as /opt/mono,
/opt/mono/lib/mono/gac but the result was the same.

Finally I tried MONO_GAC_PREFIX=/usr and it got monodevelop 2.6 started.
However now I'm confused, this method sounds to me like what the page
warned about to avoid.
