[Mono-osx] The infamous System.DllNotFoundException for libgdiplus

[David Burnett]

Hi

I'm having an issue with libgdiplus. The head line is....

System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Drawing.GDIPlus ---> System.DllNotFoundException: /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/4.0.0/lib/libgdiplus.dylib

There's plenty of references to this sort of thing, but its usually due to libgdiplus in the library search path but
this one has the full path and it exists there :-)

I checked the output from otool

Anyone else seen this issue with mono 4.0 ?

I'll admit I'm still now Snow Leopard here , one of those pesky 32bit iMac's, has that finally been obsoleted by the Mono Project ?
