If you study the error carefully, you'll see:

a) You need to install the gtk-sharp package, that will provide you with
mono(foo-sharp).

b) You are missing a dependency of gtk-sharp, that's why it's not being
installed.

And the reason for not being able to install gtk-sharp is the dependency
for "libgtkhtml3.0_4". I didn't include it in the mono-all.zip package,
as it typically installed from the distribution.

You can fix this by first installing libgtkhtml3.04, and then all should
work out of the box.
