Attempting to install Banshee from source on a CentOS 7 machine (migrating from Ubuntu and I want to retain my playlists and settings).

./configure results in: 

configure: error: Package requirements (mono >= 2.4.3) were not met:

No package 'mono' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables MONO_MODULE_CFLAGS
and MONO_MODULE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

which mono

/bin/mono

echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

but if I check for pkgconfig,

which pkgconfig

/usr/bin/which: no pkgconfig in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

yum provides pkgconfig

1:pkgconfig-0.27.1-4.el7.i686 : A tool for determining compilation options
Repo        : base

yum install pkgconfig

Package 1:pkgconfig-0.27.1-4.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version

A similar question was asked last year with no accepted answer. One of the answers pointed to a now non-existent page with a purported solution.

I believe pkg-config itself is working all right, configure is not complaining about that. What's missing is the entry for mono in the pkg-config database. Make sure you have mono.pc in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, or add wherever you have this file to PKG_CONFIG_PATH as instructed. On some linux distributions, development packages need to be separately installed, such as libmono-cil-dev on debian.
