Building Mono from SVN on the Mac can be pretty aggrevating. There aren't a lot of people doing it, and I suspect that when it finally does work, most people don't know what they did differently. To further complicate things, there is a "Framework" .pkg of Mono that most people have installed.

sudo make install
