evaluation version of monotouch failing to build to native code

this is Ajit. I tried downloading the trial version of monotouch from the website but all the links were broken. So I downloaded the following by digging from google. ()MonoDevelop-3.0.3.5 ()MonoFramework-MRE-2.10.9_11.macos10.xamarin.x86.dmg (*)Monotouch-eval-5.1.0.pkg

but after doing so when I run a sample ios app from the xamarin website only then it fails to build -> not being able to compile to native code. This is error log.

Below is the manual installation for MonoTouch evaluation which FINALLY works!:

Download and install packages listed below, in the order given:

1) Mono: http://download.mono-project.com/archive/2.10.9/macos-10-x86/10/MonoFramework-MDK-2.10.9_10.macos10.xamarin.x86.dmg

2) MonoDevelop: http://download.xamarin.com/monodevelop/Mac/MonoDevelop-3.0.dmg

3) Eval MonoTouch: http://download.xamarin.com/priv/d6d0ad447c01dd2bbbbbba829f6e1a/MonoTouch/Mac-eval/monotouch-eval-5.2.11.pkg

For the above mentioned environment this combination works like magic. Just hope that they'll fix the broken links on their site too or else many other newbies would continue to get discouraged. Thanks to support people of Xamarin who shared these links.

but all the links were broken

Please email [email protected] if you have any issues with the website.

Monotouch-eval-5.1.0.pkg

This is an pretty old, beta version of MonoTouch.

MonoTouch 5.2.12 is the current stable release while 5.3.5 is the current unstable release.

No gcc compiler found

This means no C compiler was found. In general you should make sure your MonoDevelop preferences (SDK Locations) are set the point to your Xcode installation directory.

However in this case I think your MonoTouch version is too old to work with Xcode 4.4. Updating your evaluation version to 5.2.12 is the first step you should try to fix this.
