[Opensim-dev] [opensim 0005007]: Some scripts require installing more than the default mono release

Mon Sep 27 01:25:56 UTC 2010

Perhaps should just determine what additional packages you need to  
install on your distro, install them, and be done with it. Failing  
that, you could build everything you need. This sure doesn't appear to  
be an OpenSim issue to me.
