I don't have permission to access monodevelop files

[Edward Smith-Rowland]

I'm on 11.10 Oneiric.

When I open an existing solution I get:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR [2011-11-04 11:05:28Z]: Can't create syntax mode directory
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "/usr/lib/monodevelop/bin/../data/HighlightingSchemes" is denied.

  at MonoDevelop.SourceEditor.SourceEditorDisplayBinding.LoadCustomStylesAndModes () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The project does open.

But whe I try to compile I get:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR [2011-11-04 11:15:01Z]: C# compiler not found for Mono / .NET 3.5.
ERROR [2011-11-04 11:15:01Z]: System.Exception: C# compiler not found for Mono / .NET 3.5.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't build anything. It seems more like a packaging problem. I'm going to try to blow open the permissions so I can get work done.

your project probably requires the 2.0 framework compiler.
try installing that:
sudo apt-get install mono-gmcs

[Julian Taylor (jtaylor)]

you can switch to the now default 4.0 runtime in project -> project-name options -> build -> general -> runtime version

This did it. Thanks.
