I read that (and the comments) and it is very useful. It seems that this is a common problem for many of us using Mono cross-platform, as today on another mailing list a note was sent about the same ideas: http://chrismarinos.com/f-on-ubuntu-linux-with-mono-and-monodevelop/ This version has a script for moving between mono versions, and the first link has a method for falling back to the standard, I think. > Among other useful things, he says: "This guide does NOT take startup > scripts into account – it’s your problem to ensure you’re using the > correct “mono” command to run your copy of MonoDevelop or Tomboy or > whatever." > > The good news is: we may have an answer for that.
