Well, you're clearly missing a ton of dependencies.  Is the package
still called "banshee-1" on your distro?  If not, you'll need to
change the apt-get build-dep command appropriately.

If for some reason build-dep is still failing to get you the packages
you need, then just look at the configure errors and start installing
the corresponding packages.  A search for "gmcs" should find you the
Ubuntu package "mono-gmcs".  For your original error (missing gtk+
2.0) you'll need "libgtk2.0-dev", etc.

Best,
