C# compiler not found when building a package (Monodevelop - linux)

Question

I'm trying mono develop on linux, but trying to create a package, gives me the error Could not obtain a C# compiler. C# compiler not found for Mono / .NET 3.5.

I assumed the compiler was installed with monodevelop. thanks

You can switch to the now default 4.0 runtime in :

project -> project-name options -> build -> general -> runtime version

Or if you don't have the compiler installed at all use :

sudo apt-get install mono-gmcs

to install it.
