How to force MonoDevelop build to use alternative Mono installation?

Question

I am trying to build MonoDevelop 4.0.9 on Ubuntu 12.04, which needs Mono 2.10.9 or later to build. Since Ubuntu only provides Mono 2.10.8, I've built Mono 2.10.9 from sources and installed into /opt/mono-2.11. How do I force ./configure to use Mono 2.10.9 from /opt/mono-2.11/bin instead of /usr/bin?

I've tried updating $PATH , but it didn't help:

/tmp/monodevelop [(monodevelop-4.0.9)]$ PATH=/opt/mono-2.11/bin:$PATH
/tmp/monodevelop [(monodevelop-4.0.9)]$ ./configure

/tmp/monodevelop [(monodevelop-4.0.9)]$

UPDATE: I've just tried running an existing MonoDevelop installation using new Mono:

~$ PATH=/opt/mono-2.10.9/bin:$PATH monodevelop

Does this mean that my Mono installation is not complete? Do I need to build these missing assemblies somehow?

UPDATE: I've tried using Parallel Mono Environments and created the ~/mono-dev-env (I didn't change GNOME_PREFIX, because I don't think I have it installed). However I still get an error when running MonoDevelop:

要确保Mono应用程序在您构建的Mono版本的自定义版本中运行，您应该使用并行Mono环境 。
