[Mono-dev] Cannot compile mono or mcs, please help

[David Piepgrass]

Thanks! Also, what I really want to do is compile mcs/gmcs; these errors
occur for something else. Given that I have mono binaries installed (from
the Windows installer), can I build mcs/gmcs by itself? I get another "error
128" if I run make in /mono-x.x.x.x/mcs...
