[Mono-dev] mono make install fails with Error 1

[Robert N]

Permissions problem? Looks like you are installing into /usr/mono/lib (FYI: I'd be careful, installing builds into system usr is not a good idea usually).

At that point of the install it is trying to update the gac with System.dll so I would assume you do not have permissions, you can always do a 'sudo make install'.

If you cd into <sourcebasedir>/mcs/class/System and do a sudo make install you should see the successful gac update like this:

Installed ./../../class/lib/net_4_5/System.dll into the gac (/Users/administrator/playscript-install/lib/mono/gac)
