I got it working with the packaged version of Mono (v1.9.1) by adding the following to my ~/.bash_profile

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=”/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Libraries/pkgconfig/”

Notice that the current version of IronRuby (rev. 101) wont compile, so you will have to fetch rev. 98 for now.

I think the only other thing I have done is to install the XCode tools.
I may have installed gettext once before using ports so that might have solved some of the dependencies I needed.
Otherwise i really can’t say

Hi Ivan,

How did you get gettext successfully on Leopard? I keep failing on some kind of emacs dependency. It seems this is a common error too - I have found a few references to this so far. It's a "Fatal malloc_jumpstart()" error.

Did you not encounter this? If you did, how did you get around it?

I've tried the procedure above on Tiger 10.4.8 and it didn't work. I had to manually set the include and lib folders when building glib2.0 because it wouldn't look into /opt/local even if the --prefix option was specified, and that in the end worked.
The autogen command for building mono failed miserably:

Running automake --gnu ...
aclocal.m4:1078: required file `./ltmain.sh' not found
mono/profiler/Makefile.am:22: invalid unused variable name: `libmono_profiler_logging_la_LIBADD'
mono/profiler/Makefile.am:21: invalid unused variable name: `libmono_profiler_logging_la_SOURCES'
**Error**: automake failed.
