I would really advise you to get the ports tree (see the FreeBSD handbook
for help with this.  I could give you some pointers if you want osmething
short and easy) and to build /usr/ports/lang/mono (cd /usr/ports/lang/mono ;
make all install clean) and do the same for /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk-sharp,
if you like.

Otherwise, put gc.h (and related) into /usr/local/include/gc, and you should
be OK.

Keep in mind that without using ports, you accumulate errors towards eventually
shooting your foot clean off.  The porters often know more about the system
than the average user, and if you build your own, it may "seem to work", but
there may be serious functional deficiencies.

Hope this helps :)
