Hi,
I am new to Mono and am trying to get the latest version installed and
running on Linux.  I used the mono-build.sh script off your web page. 
It ran successfully.  I set my PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the
new installed bin and lib directories.  When the script finished it said
"don't forget to copy the class files to the lib directory."  I guess
those are part of the mcs-0.11 tarball I can get of the web?  That
package won't compile.  Here is what it says when I type "make":

for i in jay nant mcs class nunit tools; do 			\
	(cd $i; make linux) || exit 1;	\
done
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rob/mono/mcs-0.11/jay'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `linux'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rob/mono/mcs-0.11/jay'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rob/mono/mcs-0.11/nant'
csc /out:NAnt.exe /recurse:*.cs 
/bin/sh: csc: command not found
make[1]: *** [NAnt.exe] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rob/mono/mcs-0.11/nant'
make: *** [linux] Error 1

What do I need to do?  Shouldn't "csc" there be "mcs"?  But the copy of
mcs.exe that the mono-build.sh script installed is a zero length file. ?

[rob@localhost rob]$ ls -l mono/install/bin/
total 4304
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root           80 Apr 26 11:39 mcs

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       497230 Apr 26 11:38 monograph

What do I do next?

Thanks
