I am trying to install tomboy on FC3.

gtk-sharp(downloaded from (http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net/) is
installed but not sure why I get the above error.

I did this also for the pkg-config export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig

You are trying to install an RPM of tomboy, which requires gtk-sharp. However, the version of gtk-sharp you have installed is a local build (you compiled and installed it yourself, right?), and so because it wasn't installed as an RPM, your RPM database has no knowledge of it and hence thinks you don't have it.

Best fix is to find an RPM of gtk-sharp and install that.
