Mono doesn't require any environment variables to be set to work 100%.
You simply had your system misconfigured, so don't place the blame on
mono.

There can be many reasons, I'll list just a few:
*) you didn't actually insert the printf.
*) you inserted the printf in a C comment
*) you didn't save the file after changing it
*) you didn't recompile libmono (after saving the file with the correct change)
*) you didn't install the new libmono
*) you installed in a different directory
*) the aliens came and stole the printf

I'll let you guess which one is the more probable:)
