> When some fundamental components are missing (flex, yacc, pkg-config, partial-boosts install...), thrift's configure.ac dies in non-obvious ways. In some cases it aborts with a MONO-related error (it complains about parsing errors near the 'MONO' token) or sometimes just halts halfway through the configure tests (it'll stop before running config.status and after checking for the slew of c functions.
