You don't have Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll installed into your GAC.  Alas,
you seem to be running Debian or Ubuntu (given your prior mention of
Synaptic), and Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) will be the first version to have
the libmono-microsoft-visualbasic8.0-cil package which provides this
assembly... :-(

Debian unstable also provides the libmono-microsoft-visualbasic8.0-cil
package, which should install onto Ubuntu 8.10; see:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/libmono-microsoft-visualbasic8.0-cil/download

If that doesn't work, you might consider building mono from source,
which will include this assembly, but that may be more work than you'd
like to consider.  Regardless, see:
