OK, so it seems you either don't have gtkhtml-sharp installed (and
that's one of the dependencies) or the configure system can't find it,
in which case you need to export the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
variable with the path to where the gtkhtml-sharp.pc resides.

I'd advise against using symbolic links, btw, it can turn into a real
mess. You should delete those you made to try fixing this problem and
instead either compile/install all the needed dependencies or have
PKG_CONFIG_PATH point to their non-standard locations.
