Your best bet is to build from tarballs (they should detect your gtkhtml
automatically). You also *might* be able to get away with using suse93
rpms, as they have GNOME 2.10 version of gtkhtml -- However, that is
totally unsupported.

I uploaded some srpms however if you really want them:

http://primates.ximian.com/~bmaurer/gtk-sharp-1.0.9-1.fedora3.novell.src.rpm
http://primates.ximian.com/~bmaurer/gtk-sharp2-1.9.3.1-1.fedora3.novell.src.rpm

In the future, I am going to try to make a packagers page with spec
files etc to make packaging easier on people.

Once FC4 is released, we will probably create jails for it and start
building gtk# there.

The gtkhtml authors beleive they can change the .so number at will.
Because they are unable to provide abi/api stability like the rest of
the GNOME platform, we are forced to make rpms that depend on specific
versions. We actually don't depend on that *exact* version -- the
configure.in figures out what to depend on -- its just that the rpm has
to have the correct dependency.
