I created /usr/local/lib/libgdiplus.dll.so myself. The DLL not found
exception went away when I created it, and returns when I remove it.

Just some extra info:

Mono JIT compiler version 0.30.2, (C) 2002-2004 Novell, Inc. www.go-mono.com
Mono C# compiler version 0.29.99.0

I've just realised that mcs is claiming to be 0.29.99.0, but the file
I installed from was http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mcs-0.30.2.tar.gz,
and the folder extracted from the file is mcs-0.30.1. Could this be
the problem? It doesn't make things any easier when a download marked
as one version contains a folder marked as a different version that
contains source for yet another version, guys.
