我们知道，在 Ubuntu 9.10 操作系统中可以使用以下命令来安装 MonoDevelop 2.0：
$ sudo apt-get install monodevelop
但是，如果我们需要安装最新的 MonoDevelop 2.2 版本的话，可以按照以下步骤从源代码进行编译：
ben@ben-vbox:~$ cd src
ben@ben-vbox:~/src$ svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/monodevelop
ben@ben-vbox:~/src$ cd monodevelop
ben@ben-vbox:~/src/monodevelop$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/monodevelop-2.2
The build profile 'default' does not exist. A new profile will be created.
Select the packages to include in the build for the profile 'default':
1. [X] main
2. [ ] extras/JavaBinding
3. [ ] extras/BooBinding
4. [ ] extras/ValaBinding
5. [ ] extras/AspNetEdit
6. [ ] extras/GeckoWebBrowser
7. [ ] extras/WebKitWebBrowser
8. [ ] extras/MonoDevelop.Database
9. [ ] extras/MonoDevelop.Profiling
10. [ ] extras/MonoDevelop.AddinAuthoring
11. [ ] extras/MonoDevelop.CodeAnalysis
12. [ ] extras/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Mdb
13. [ ] extras/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Gdb
14. [ ] extras/PyBinding
15. [ ] extras/MonoDevelop.IPhone
Enter the number of an add-in to enable/disable,
(q) quit, (c) clear all, (s) select all, or ENTER to continue:
