Summary:                    configure skript, gacutil_base variable
Description: 
I'm not sure if the configure skript works properly.
I want suggest this following patch:

565c565
<     gacutil_base="${monopath}gacutil -root \$(DESTDIR)$mono_libdir"
---
>     gacutil_base="${monopath}gacutil -root
\$(DESTDIR)$mono_libdir/mono/"

This is how i could install nemerle.

It seems to be gentoo specific. According to the mono svn sources and the
help for gacutil:

-root <ROOTDIR>
        Used by developers integrating this with automake tools or
packaging tools
        that require a prefix directory to  be specified. The root
represents the
        "libdir" component of a prefix (typically prefix/lib).

so nemerle configure script sets it right.

Could you also post output of:

ls /usr/lib/mono
ls /usr/lib/mono/mono

So the gentoo configuration of gacutil is to blame?

towa at solaris ~ $ ls /usr/lib/mono/mono
gac  nemerle
towa at solaris ~ $ ls /usr/lib/mono/
1.0  compat-1.0  dbus-sharp  gecko-sharp  mono     nemerle
2.0  compat-2.0  gac         gtk-sharp    monodoc  xbuild

Some more infos:

This is the command, that fails:
gacutil -root
/var/tmp/portage/nemerle-0.9.2/image//usr/lib/pkgconfig/../../lib -package
nemerle -i out.stage3/Nemerle.dll

As you see, gentoo wants to install all file in a different DESTDIR. 
Maybe this causes the problem.

#> make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/portage/nemerle-0.9.2/image/ install
fails.

#> make install
works, but confuses the gentoo package management system.
