Am sorry to hear that. We recommend people to use the released binary packages to get a feel of Mono. We release ready-to-run packages for Windows and various Linux flavors and various architecture flavors as well. > To begin with, all of help that I have run across require Cygwin to > compile it, which is a nightmare in itself.

This morning I tried re-installing cygwin (everything > this time), and I get Unknown host anoncvs.go-mono.com:2401/mono. Yes, the Cygwin dependency is a pain because there is no such thing as a point release, it is an always-changing, always moving target. So depending on the day you install you might have more luck than other days. > I have stumbled upon the Bugzilla web page for notes that say what is > broken and I am headed down that path.

If you could point to the errors you have found, that would be great at least to help others coming in.
