The Gendarme installation (v3.10.0.0) on my machine CentOS (release 6.5 Final) was unable to report line numbers. Upon some searching I found that Mono.Cecil.Mdb.dll was missing in the installation as suggested in the FAQs
After doing some search on resolving this, I came across this link. Therefore, I copied the dll from MonoDevelop installation directory as suggested in the link.
Now, when I run Gendarme, I get the following trace:

=================================================================
Got a SIGABRT while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.
=================================================================
What should I do to get line numbers in the report?
I was missing another dependency Mono.Cecil.dll. I got it from here and copied it to /mono/lib/gendarme along with Mono.Cecil.Mdb.dll from the installation of MonoDevelop as mentioned in the question.
