If you're adding the Firefox shared libs to your global
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, that's a bad idea. If you ever want to run
more than
one Mozilla-based app (e.g. Mozilla Suite, Firefox, nVu,
Thunderbird
etc) then this can break things really badly. Mozilla has
very poor
ABI compatibility, and for example if you start
/usr/bin/mozilla and
it tries to load libs from /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/, then
it will
break.

The trick is to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for each application --
both
/usr/bin/monodevelop and "make run" do this for
you. In this case, as
Lluis said, "make run" is the way to run MD
without installing it.
