[Mono-devel-list] gdiplus downloaded but still says missing from mono

[Ravindra Kumar]

Hi dude,
Looks like you have all that you need. Only thing that could be wrong
is environment settings. I don't know what is the equivalent of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable on Ubuntu, but this is required to
set to include the directory that contains libgdiplus.so. Please check,
if your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or it's equivalent) has this directory included
in it's value ? If not, you can try something like this, for example in
your case,

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib

should solve the problem, if your variable does not include this
directory already. Please let us know, if this variable includes the
required directory and you are still facing problems.

FYI, gdiplus.dll is a MS library and we have implemented the same
functionality in libgdiplus.so.

I have Ubuntu, I have libgdiplus installed as well, and that's true:
