The following process worked for me, please feel free to improve it as it may not be the best way :)
+
 
+
From a fresh install:
+
 
+
  # yum update
+
  # yum install subversion ruby
+
 
+
To get Mono 1.9.1 I added the Mono.repo file in the /etc/yum.repo.d/ directory:
+
 
+
  # sudo su -
+
  # cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
+
  # wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Mono/RHEL_5/Mono.repo
+
 
+
Note: The main RHEL 5 repo for mono is gone, reason unknown. There are two alternatives, however:
+
 
+
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mindtouch/RHEL_5/home:mindtouch.repo  (Mono 1.9.1)
+
 
+
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/directhex/RHEL_5/home:directhex.repo  (Mono 2.0.1)
+
 
+
 
+
I then installed mono
+
 
+
  # yum install mono nant libgdiplus mono-jscript mono-nunit
+
 
+
So far so good, mono -V shows 1.9.1 has installed :)
+
 
+
Now just a couple of other things that you may need:
+
 
+
  # yum install swig autoconf gawk bison gcc
+
 
+
And then build and install mono 2.0.1 from source
+
 
+
  # wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2
+
  # tar xf mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2
+
  # cd mono-2.0.1
+
  # ./configure --with-libgdiplus=yes
+
  # make (may take a while)
+
  # make install
+
 
+
Yay! mono -V and I have Mono 2.0.1 :)
+
 
+
Note that I have OpenSim 0.6.4 running on mono 2.4.  So newer versions of mono should work.
+
 
+
Now all i have to do is open the right ports and install OpenSim as usual...
+
 
+
Once you have OpenSimulator running you may want to follow these instructions for setting up a crontab entry that checks your server to see it is running and restarts if it ain't.

==Potential Issues==
+
Mantis #3626 references an issue where the build fails with references to a "TResponse" type.  It appears that there is a bug in the mono 1.9.1 libraries and they don't get properly overwritten when the newer mono is installed.  To fix this, add "--prefix=/usr" to the "./configure" line when building mono.  Refer to http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=3626 for more discussion about this problem.
+
 
+
I've had nant occasionally die with a SEGV exception when building OpenSim.  In this case, rerunning nant was able to continue the build.
