[Mono-list] System.DllNotFoundException: gdiplus.dll - libgdiplus.so is Missing on CentOS 5.1 / WHM (cPanel)

[Chris Morley]

Thanks for the reply, but the more I think about installin libgdiplus via yum the less happy I am.

 Should libgdiplus be installed by default and alongside in the same package when installing mono? Im concerned why mine was missing with installing mono via Easy::Apache WHM cPanel script.

 Furthermore I read on this mailgroup archives that the versions of libgdiplus and mono should be the same versions, this is not the case as my mono installed is 1.9 and the lib 1.0.5!

 Regards

 Chris

  Try looking at http://mono-project.com/DllNotFoundException and
  especially http://mono-project.com/Config_DllMap

  Hopefully this might help :-)
