[Mono-list] [OSX][WinForms] DllNotFoundException on "libgdiplus.dylib", but library installed

[Eric Slosser]

I'm not sure, but perhaps your problem is that MacPorts doesn't install xterm libraries where they're expected to be found.  I used Apple's installer.  I see the following are loaded by my WinForms app running on Snow Leopard.

/usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.6.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.1.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.6.dylib
/usr/X11/lib/libXau.6.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib
/usr/X11/lib/libXdmcp.6.dylib
