I can't seem to install mono-d. It always seems to want a newer
version of MonoDevelop.
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and it has version 4.0.12 of
MonoDevelop. Has anybody else got this to work with this
version?
I have this file called
MonoDevelop.D-1.9.6.mpack
Tools->Add In Manager->Install From File
Select the MonoDevelop.D-1.9.6.mpack file.
Press "Open"

The Following Packages will be Installed.
D Language Binding v2.1.14 (In User Directory)
MonoDevelop has a terrible plugin API compatibility policy which
makes Mono-D author only stick to latest released API version
unless he wants to maintain dozen of different Mono-D builds :(
In practice that means that you pretty much will never be able to
use MonoDevelop version from repositories in Ubuntu - need to
either build recent version on your own or use /opt/ bundle by
