[Mono-osx] System.DllNotFoundException ... libgdiplus.dylib

[Tamas Szekeres]

Hi All,

I've tried to run my application on OSX and got the following error:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception
was thrown by the type initializer for System.Drawing.GDIPlus --->
System.DllNotFoundException:

I have libgdiplus installed and libgdiplus.dylib exists in that
directory the error message refers to.

I've already tried to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly but that
didn't solve the problem.

According to http://www.mono-project.com/Problem:GDIPlusInit
here is the output of the otool command:

Could anyone help me out with this problem?
