[Mono-list] Mono 0.4 runtime Make can't find alloca.h

[Richard Anthony Hein]

I am trying to build the runtime, and I get this error message:

Making all in interpreter
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/mono/mono-0.4/mono/interpreter'

I'm a newbie to Linux and to Make, so please use simple language ;-) - it's
obvious that the file can't be found, but where do I get it and how do I
configure this to work?

TIA,
