[MonoDevelop] Monodevelop: Error: /tmp/tmp42572dff.tmp

[Costantino Pipero]

Thank you so much Michael,

after you pointed that out simply activated the Build Output view - by 
clicking on the menu View->Build Output.

That show the compiler error correctly even where the error window  reports 
the tmp file.

I can now troubleshoot successfully (I made some namespaces typos and it 
didn't reference well).

Thank you
Cos
