Follow these instructions to install a snapshot of mono trunk on a Debian Etch box

The latest snapshot can be found here:

apt-get install gcc libtool bison pkg-config libglib2.0-dev
wget http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/snapshot/snapshot_sources/mono/mono-118180.tar.bz2
tar xfvj mono-118180.tar.bz2 
cd mono-118180
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono-trunk
make
make install

Once installed the binaries will be in:  /opt/mono-trunk/bin

You can call them explicitly using the full path:  /opt/mono-trunk/bin/gmcs

Or set your $PATH variable by editing ~/.bashrc and adding a line like this:

export PATH=/opt/mono-trunk/bin:$PATH
 

Then verify by running

mono --version
gmcs --version
