I am trying to get mono (Debian 2.10.8.1-5) to run properly on my raspberry pi with the raspbian distro (\"Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid\"). I have installed mono with apt-get
That's most likely to be an ARM Mono binary layer bug. Especially since you are running a version that was release before Raspberry Pi. You will have much better luck with that on mono-devel mailing list. And it's possible that this is fixed in git already.
