Worked for me with mono mono-4.0.4 @ CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

Worked with 4.2.1.36 on Centos 6.6 Final (with the obvious script changes for version)

Also, to install XSP I had to:
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://origin-download.mono-project.com/sources/xsp/xsp-3.8.tar.gz
tar zxvf xsp-3.8.tar.gz
cd xsp-3.8

When I ran configure this failed so:
cd /opt/mono/bin
ln -s mcs ./gmcs

Back to the compile:
cd -
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono
make && make install

Then assuming /opt/mono is on you path
xsp4 --port 9000
will start the server.

When I tried to use a test calendar script:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<html>
<head>
   <title>Sample Calendar</title>
</head>
<asp:calendar showtitle="true" runat="server">
</asp:calendar>

I got an error about LIBGDIPLUS not found. I installed this and tried again. Still the same error.
The libgdiplus.so library went into /usr/local/lib which isn't default for ldconfig.

vi /etc/ld.so.conf
add a new line for /usr/local/lib
run 'ldconfig' as root.
Run 'ldconfig -p | grep libgdiplus' to test it find it and stop and start the XSP server again.

All working so far .... Hope this helps someone.

just succeed to make mono-4.4.0.40 with monolite 140: http://download.mono-project.com/monolite/monolite-140-latest.tar.gz

it was required to install monolite right after configure ( "./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/mono" ):

make get-monolite-latest monolite_url=http://download.mono-project.com/monolite/monolite-140-latest.tar.gz

P.S. CentOS 6.7

The installation worked with Mono 4.2.3.4 on RHEL 6. Thank you!
I am a newbie at Linux. I'd like to compile a C# code just to test my Mono installation. If I type, $ cms HelloWorld.cs from a terminal window, I am getting an error message "bash: cms: command not found". How can I start Mono? Please help.

I was able to install mono mono-4.8.1.0 like a charm. Thank you!

❗ Edit

I just found out that mono can be installed on CentOS 6 without building it ourselves.
