[MonoDevelop] Error building from git source

[Robert N]

Did you install the "referenceassemblies-pcl" package? That is a separate install from the mono `make install`.

Check under the "Usage" section @

* http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#usage

You can also manually download the PCL Reference Assemblies zip file and install them.

-R

I get the following error trying to build monodevelop from source after rebuilding mono:

Errors:

/home/calder/tmp/monodevelop/main/Main.sln (default targets) ->
(Build target) ->
/home/calder/tmp/monodevelop/main/external/RefactoringEssentials/RefactoringEssentials/RefactoringEssentials.csproj (default targets) ->
/usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.Common.targets (GetReferenceAssemblyPaths target) ->

    /usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.Common.targets: error : PCL Reference Assemblies not installed.

 I just rebuilt mono today:

 Does anyone know how to fix this?
