I don't see a port called "monodevelop". Are you installing this  
manually then? Or do you mean the port "mono"?

When I type "port info gtk-sharp" I see that it depends on the port  
"libgda", not "libgda3". How did libgda3 get installed on your  
system? Did you explicitly say "sudo port install libgda3" or did  
MacPorts install it automatically for you as a dependency of some  
other port?

I don't know anything about gtk-sharp, for example whether it could  
be updated to use libgda3 instead of libgda. gtk-sharp doesn't have a  
maintainer either. If you'd like to poke around with it, please feel  
free, and if you find something in the port that needs to be updated,  
please let us know.
