mucking around with trying to get mono to run on hardy heron (and my custom compiled kernel¹) i ended up with a mutilated mono installation. just following my previous recipe didn’t work out too well for the mono document browser…duh…:-(

so, i took sean’s shell script and gave that a spin. that worked mostly — i had to adapt it to mono 1.9.1 for the mono-doc stuff and also install additional mono packages. here’s the revised edition (click here for a downloadable version):

#!/bin/sh
