Hi Michael,
        Thank you very much for your help early this morning.
Here are the steps I followed to fix the Monodevelop build on the Ubuntu
Linux 14.04 LTS desktop.

1. First built mono from source. To build mono from source on Ubuntu first
I had to install official Mono since to build mono from source requires
official Mono to be installed .
2. To install official mono, I followed the below steps:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys
3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" |
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get update
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian
wheezy-apache24-compat main" | sudo tee -a
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get install git autoconf libtool automake build-essential gettext
sudo apt-get install mono-devel
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
sudo apt-get install referenceassemblies-pcl
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates-mono



3. Next to build mono from source , I followed the below steps (This
replaces the official mono installed in step 2)

sudo su
cd /home/frankc/Desktop
mkdir mono
cd mono
export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH
git clone https://github.com/mono/mono.git
cd mono
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/
make
sudo make install



4. Then I went forward to build monodevelop from source, here the steps I
followed to build monodevelop

cd /home/frankc/desktop/mono
git clone https://github.com/mono/monodevelop.git
cd monodevelop
git submodule update --init --recursive
 ./configure --prefix=/usr/
make
sudo make install

make run.


5. During the step ./configure --prefix=/usr/, one by one it gave the
dependency missing,
here the dependencies I installed based on error I received in the above
step, all executed as sudo venkat

sudo apt-get install gnome-sharp2
sudo apt-get install libglade2.0-cil-dev
sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install libssh2-1-dev
sudo apt-get install  zlibc zlib1g zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install nuget

Thank you.

     Frank
