Cannot install on Ubuntu 8.10

I decompressed the binaries tar.gz file, set the execute permissions to the opendialect shell script file & ran it via terminal. But got the following error:

prem@shreshtis:~/Apps/OpenDialect060$ ./opendialect

I have a Ubuntu 8.10 system with default mono:

After a quick glance it appears that you are missing some core parts of Mono. I assume by running the shell you meant running the exe?
