// The –prefix argument to configure tells the build tools where to
// install binaries, libraries and scripts. The default is /usr/local.
// Mono’s default is often /usr/lib/mono. You might want to specify this
argument to the // configure script as I have done below. It is recommended that you use a // directory under your $HOME, since it interferes less with your operating // system’s directory structure.</pre>

// First, make the directory:

mkdir -p $HOME/opt

// Now configure the package with a prefix in your home directory:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt

// You are now ready to build the source. It takes a while. Get a cup of

// coffee or something while it’s running. Ignore the XML warnings

make

// You can now install the package to $HOME/opt:

make install
