IncompletePackage

If you get an error about an incomplete package while configuring Mono from the command line, this means that your distribution of Mono is incomplete.

This is typically caused by using old versions of tar (in particular, this happens in Solaris). You can bypass this check by using the –disable-solaris-tar-check command line argument when running ‘autogen.sh’.

You must use a new tar program to decompress the Mono source code, as Mono contains very long directories and filenames that are not properly unpacked by older versions of tar.

You can use GNU Tar for this.
