Re: Error compiling mono 1.1.9 with GARNOME 2.12.0.2

["Joseph E. Sacco, PhD" <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

There are a couple of different ways to build mono [see the mono web
site]. We have chosen the simplest approach.

Experience has taught us that there cannot be any  pre-existing mono
components "visible" while building mono compiler and class libraries.
 
mono-1.1.9.1 does not[yet] build on my system, a PPC running YDL-4.0.1. 
A bug report has been filed with the mono project.

Mono was added to GARNOME in order to build a few of mono-based
applications. Mono is not an integral part of the GNOME desktop.
