Yes, the distro packages for mono tend to claim whole ownership over things in
/usr. For this reason there is the "parallel mono environment" which lets you
build and install a whole mono installation in any folder you wish.

If you are on ubuntu or debian I have a set of packages that you can install
that wind up in /opt/mono and wont mess up your distro's mono/cil stuff.
