I'm a little confused.  The website says that currently MCS only runs on
Windows.  However, there is a shell script which builds MCS and the other
compnents under Linux.  When I finished building it said I had to move the
class libraries into the lib directory.

Does the C# compiler work under Linux?  Where would I get the class
libraries?

Thanks,
Daniel.
