[Mono-list] Building from CVS: gmcs.exe not found

I downloaded CVS yesterday, and updated it this morning. I ran from the cvs\mono directory:

./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr

./make fullbuild

My mono files are found in /usr/bin/mono, etc. So I believe the prefix above is correct. But the build fails with the error below. It appears that the gmcs.exe file is being looked for in the / directory rather than /usr/bin/.

make[3]: Entering directory `/root/cvs/mono/runtime'

if test -f ../../mcs/gmcs/gmcs.exe; then f=../../mcs/gmcs/gmcs.exe; else f=/gmcs.exe; fi; \

echo "cp -f $f ."; \

cp -f $f .

cp -f /gmcs.exe .

cp: cannot stat `/gmcs.exe': No such file or directory

make[3]: *** [gmcs.exe] Error 1

make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/cvs/mono/runtime'

make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

biscuit:~/cvs/mono # locate gmcs.exe

/usr/bin/gmcs.exe

/usr/lib/mono/2.0/gmcs.exe

I created a symbolic link to it in the / directory, and got passed that error. Then the build crashed with this error:

cp -f ../../../mcs/class/lib/default/System.Web.Services.dll .

cp -f ../../../mcs/class/lib/default/System.Windows.Forms.dll .

Making all in net_2_0
