[Mono-list] GDI+ problems on 1.0.4

[Dilton McGowan II]

Hi,

Thank you all for looking at this.

We cannot build production products by mixing and
matching various source builds. I'm trying to
determine if there is a bug in 1.0.4 or if I do not
have a correct system configuration.

Here is what I did:

1) Started with a new SuSe system
2) Went to the Mono downloads page and got the source
for 1.0.4 for the Runtime and libgdiplus.
3) Build the Runtime and libgdiplus.
4) Build my test program.
5) Test it unsuccessfully.
6) Went to the SuSe 9.1 RPM page and installed the
RPMs from "Optional Dependencies: Required for Cairo
or System.Drawing use."
7) It still fails.

Why does 1.0.2 have this RPM:
mono-drawing-1.0.2-1.ximian.9.1.i586.rpm but not
1.0.4?
