Hi all,
After much research, question-asking, and experimentation, I -think- I have gotten a documented set of procedures for compiling from CVS on Linux boxen. Could somebody go over these and let me know if there's a problem? I'm sure that this probably has been gone over numerous times, but for my own piece of mind, I just wanted to get an actual procedure documented somewhere for future reference. Sorry in advance if I stepped on someone's toes.

Steps to compile Mono from CVS on Linux:
- Download mcs and mono from CVS
- cd <mono_base>/mcs/class/corlib. Run make -f makefile.gnu.
- cd <mono_base>/mono. Run autogen.sh (there's an error with automake, at least on my install), then autoconf.
- Run configure --prefix=<your install dir>, then make, then make install.
- cd <mono_base>/mcs/class/corlib. Run make -f makefile.gnu install prefix=<your install dir>
- cd <mono_base>/mcs. Run make -f makefile.gnu, then make -f makefile.gnu install prefix=<your install dir>
This -should- get you an updated Mono installation.
</instructions>
Thanks,
John
