I am trying to install the MonoDevelop IDE from source. One of its prerequisites is Mono 2.10.

Unfortunately the preinstalled mono runtime on my current Ubuntu system is 2.6.7.

I managed to make a parallel mono install on my system. It is located at /opt/mono-2.10.

Sadly, once I run the ./configure script, it fails saying that the /usr/bin/mono executable is outdated (as well as other executables related to mono).

I would want to try to pass a different path to ./configure, to point to my parallel mono install (/opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono) etc.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

  • It would help if you could point to a location from where the source could be downloaded. Add that to your question. – Faheem Mitha Nov 14 '11 at 00:17

Put /opt/mono-2.10/bin ahead of /usr/bin in your PATH:

PATH=/opt/mono-2.10/bin:$PATH
./configure
make

This may not be enough. Typically configure scripts take additional settings in the form of --with-… options or environment variables. Run ./configure --help to see the possibilities.
