AFAICT, RHEL4 ships GTK 2.4. MonoDevelop requires GTK 2.8. So if you
want MD on RHEL 4, you're going to have to build the whole unmanaged
GTK stack as well :-/

MD does have the ability to *target* older GTK versions, so IMO the
easiest solution for you is to install openSUSE 11 in a VM, and use MD
on that. Install the GTK# 2.4 addin from the addin manager, set your
projects' target GTK# version to 2.4, and the binaries should be
usable on RHEL.
