I have unzipped and untarred the mono-03-Aug-04 snapshot and attempted to
compile mono. The following error was issued:

Making all in runtime
make[2]: Entering directory `/nobackup/Downloads/mono-03-Aug-04/mono/runtime'
Making all in .

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/nobackup/Downloads/mono-03-Aug-04/mono'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I then went into the mcs directory to compile this first and got this error
message:

Your mono runtime and class libraries are out of sync.
The out of sync library is:
/nobackup/Downloads/mono-03-Aug-04/mcs/class/corlib/../../class/lib/default/mscorlib.dll

When you update one from cvs you need to update, compile and install
the other too.
Do not report this as a bug unless you're sure you have updated correctly:
you probably have a broken mono install.
If you see other errors or faults after this message they are probably related
and you need to fix your mono install first.

This may be using a old version of mono to run. 

How do I get around this gridlock

You can avoid this problem by using a Mono release to bootstrap your
setup.
