Welcome.  We all start somewhere.  :)

There is an error from console " Requested 'gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12.0' but version of GTK+ is 2.10.4".  I am asking my Linux admin on this and not sure whether we can upgrade GTK+ (I am not sure where it come from? GNU installation?).  Is there a way to get around it (use GTK+ 2.10.4 instead of >= 2.12.0)?  Should I try older version of gtk-sharp?

You would need to use an older Gtk# if you cannot use a newer GTK+.

This is because you ran ./configure as root earlier, so the log file
is now owned by root and your user can't touch it.  If I were in your
shoes I would remove the whole /tmp/mono/gtk-sharp-2.12.9 directory
(as root, so you have permissions) and then extract it as a normal
user.  (Also, I would not use /tmp for this -- it gets wiped when you
reboot.  I'd create a "src" directory in my home directory and compile
stuff in there.)

Good luck!
