A little help with linux programming

Any tips or ay recomendations on reading material about implementing gstreamer functionality with c# and mono through unmanaged code ? Either that or help on compiling gstreamer-sharp bindings which don't really seem to like me.

I'm actually running gentoo, thank you very much, and am a die-hard ANSI C fan. I selected that title merely to avoid replies from winfags, and since my question actually involves programming for the linux platform, i would consider that title quite apt for this thread.
