This is exactly what I did.  In fact the RPM installers are only 
available for RedHat 8,9.  I am using 7.3.  I downloaded the mono & mcs 
sources, and successfully compiled, and installed the mono-0.26 project 
by doing:

configure
make
make install

However, the mcs compilation failed with the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/mono/mcs-0.26/build'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mono/mcs-0.26/build'

------------

I think this must be mcs specific, as the reported *.cs file comes with it:

serge /usr/local/src/mono/mcs-0.26>locate *.cs | grep StreamReader
/usr/local/src/mono/mcs-0.26/class/corlib/System.IO/StreamReader.cs
/usr/local/src/mono/mcs-0.26/class/corlib/Test/System.IO/StreamReaderTest.cs
