Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately it hasn't resolved the
problem. The output of svn st after make clean is below:
?      profiles/default

Is that normal does this mean there is a problem.

Well most of the projects I have tried it on were all created by
Visual Studio 2005 however they worked fine on the build of
monodevelop from august. To check I created a new project with
monodevelop, it had exactly the same problem so I don't think its the
project files at fault.

When running make run with the new project there are no error messages
at all on the command line or in the mono develop gui.

What should I try next ?

Thanks again for the help.
