Compile MonoDevelop 4.2.3

I need help, I'm trying to compile monodevelop code, but when I use the command "./configure" tells me that I need to have installed a version of mono, but I have it installed

    [raven@localhost ~]$ mono -V

I had to install the mono-devel package. I got the tip from this thread. To install mono-devel I used:

$ sudo apt-get install mono-devel

compile and install mono with

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

instead of

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local

The configure script reads the mono version via pkg-config. Make sure you have the mono.pc installed and that your pkg-config is finding it. Since you seem to have installed mono into /usr/local, chances are that your mono.pc is in /usr/local/lib/pkg-config. You are however using pkg-config from /usr/bin which might not be configured to look in /usr/local. You should re-run configure with the proper directory added to PKG_CONFIG_PATH, such as:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure
