Hello Evan,

Linux and Mono support is through the FePy project.

http://fepy.sourceforge.net

It addresses the build concerns you raise and provides some modules that 
don't come with the standard IronPython build.

You can't use CPython extensions (the ones written in C anyway) with 
IronPython though, and should look for .NET equivalents.

All the best,


Michael
