Well, if the original poster got his mono from CentOS, the person who built the rpms would be Johnny Hughes. :-)
At any rate, the easiest way to install mono on CentOS 5 will be to run:
yum --enablerepo=centosplus groupinstall Mono
Those instructions are good except I don't think centosplus needs enabling as the Mono group is in extras ... so this should work:
yum groupinstall Mono

Thanks, Johnny Hughes
There is a little problem here :-)
mono-core requires libgdiplus. When I browsed the extra/ directory, I saw libgdiplus in there. BUT,
# yum --disablerepo * --enablerepo=extras install libgdiplus (snip) Nothing to do
# yum --disablerepo * --enablerepo=centosplus install libgdiplus (snip) Dependencies Resolved
============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: libgdiplus x86_64 1.2.5-1.el5.centos centosplus 375 k
Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s)
This was why centosplus had to be enabled to install mono. I am sure Johnny can "fix" this problem easily. :D
