First always make sure you're using the same version of libgdiplus as
your mono version (otherwise you'll end up with other problems*).

mod_mono is (generally) not executed under your user own account. So
this means the library packaged with the installer, /opt/mono-1.9.1/,
will not be available (by default) unless you update your environment
variables (like LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

(*) make sure your mono, from /opt/mono-1.9.1/ is not using the last one

Just google a bit more. I used "mod_mono gdiplus.dll" and found several
answers.
