Usually, the files in /usr/bin that run .NET applications are just scripts that execute mono with some argument or other. The argument used points to the appropriate .exe in /usr/lib[64]/application_name. For example, the one for monodevelop in /usr/bin reads (on my box - snipped down a lot!) MD_BIN_PATH=/usr/lib/monodevelop/bin exec -a "monodevelop" /usr/bin/mono --debug ./MonoDevelop.exe "$@" This sets the binary path to be /usr/lib/monodevelop/bin - the files in there are not Linux binaries, rather they are .NET files which need mono to run. The second line executes /usr/bin/mono (the runtime), sets it to debug mode and runs MonoDevelop.exe which is in /usr/lib/monodevelop/bin with any arguments in needs (the "$@" bit). .NET apps using mono do this to make it look like the binary is a native linux one rather than a .NET one.
