What version of Xamarin Studio and Xamarin.Android are you using? You can try and disable the linking step in your android project as a workaround... – der_michael

May you don't have the package for AppCompat. Download latest Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat libraries from NuGet and rebuild the project.

I think that you are trying to add AppCompat library to your app.

Be sure that you download the SDK like that. When you download these packages don't choose the last stable version. Instead choose any older version like that.
