I'm sure Ubuntu has GTK+ installed if you're looking at the GNOME
desktop after logging in.  However, Ubuntu doesn't install development
tools by default.  monodevelop is in the repositories for Jaunty 9.04
so I can simply run

sudo apt-get build-dep monodevelop

to pull in all of the build dependencies.

This isn't really the appropriate mailing list for this request.
Please consult http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo in the future.
You would have found gtk-list gnome org   But really this is a
distribution concern and Ubuntu has extensive forums for support.

Cheers,
