Installing Mono 3.4.0 and MonoDevelop 4.2.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Question

I went through some problems installing the latest versions of mono and monodevelop. After solving the problems I decided to post for those who need it someday.

The process below worked perfectly on my lap top Alienware MX11R3

1-)Download Mono Run time

http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-3.4.0.tar.bz2

2-)Extract tarballs

tar -xjvf mono-3.4.0.tar.bz2

3-)Install It

cd mono-3.4.0
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install

4-)Install MonoDevelop Deps

sudo apt-get install libglade2.0-cil-dev 
sudo apt-get install gnome-sharp2

5-)Put libs in Gac

cd /usr/lib/cli

sudo gacutil -i glib-sharp-2.0/glib-sharp.dll &&
sudo gacutil -i atk-sharp-2.0/atk-sharp.dll &&
sudo gacutil -i gdk-sharp-2.0/gdk-sharp.dll &&
sudo gacutil -i gtk-sharp-2.0/gtk-sharp.dll &&
sudo gacutil -i glade-sharp-2.0/glade-sharp.dll &&
sudo gacutil -i pango-sharp-2.0/pango-sharp.dll &&
sudo gacutil -i gnome-sharp-2.24/gnome-sharp.dll && 
sudo gacutil -i gconf-sharp-2.0/gconf-sharp.dll &&
sudo gacutil -i gnome-vfs-sharp-2.0/gnome-vfs-sharp.dll

6-)Download MonoDevelop

http://download.mono-project.com/sources/monodevelop/monodevelop-4.2.2-2.tar.bz2

7-)Extract tarballs

tar -xjvf monodevelop-4.2.2-2.tar.bz2

8-)Install It

cd monodevelop-4.2.2
./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix mono`
make
sudo make install

Enjoy.
