ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Another way to install updates on your operating system is to use yum. Putting the mono.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d will allow you to install mono and related packages.
then it didn't find matches... wtf?
Code:
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum install mono

I've also never used yum, but I use apt-get a lot and used apt-get in redhat a lot. I guess you need to update the repositories when you've edited your yum list with "yum update" too. You did not forget to do that?
<guess>Perhaps only mono-1.1 should be enough and trigger the rest... </guess>

did yum update... but then it requested to download 500 mb of updates... so shall I still complete this? typed N and re did the yum install mono, which didn't work.
With all due respect to the good folks at Mono ... I can't imagine C# would be the language of choice if your target platform is Linux. For precisely the kinds of issues you encountered trying to install Mono (my experiences on SuSE were similar ... but at least I got a "hello world" compiled and running).
If you just want to learn C#, you should really do it with Visual Studio. Unless you don't have a choice.

You can download the free version of the 32 borland compiler supported under windows . It should help you , It's free with shell commands.
