[Mono-osx] libgdiplus.dylib

[Antoine Polatouche]

Hi there!

I'm new to the mac world, and I wonder if I can run a winforms mono
application on it?
A minimum winforms app with only an empty window crashes, complaining
about a missing  libgdiplus.dylib.
In fact the lib is there (symlink to libgdiplus.0.0.0.dylib in the same
directory).

Am I missing something?
Some workaround?
Any clue?

OSX 10.5.6
Mono 2.4
I run both a binary compliled with VS2008 on a XP box, and a binary
compiled with Monodevelop 2.1.0 on the Mac.
Here are the error messages, if that can help:
