[Mono-winforms-list] Simple hello world application

[Attila Goda]

Hi!

I created a simple hello world application on windows with sharpdevelop to 
test the windows.forms feautures of mono. I tired to run this exe on mono 
(beta2 on SuSE 9.1) and I´ve got a following error messages:

mono HelloWorld.exe

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

In installed every rpm package from mono-all.zip and the libgdiplus.so exists 
in my /usr/lib directory. I tired to create symbolic ling from libgdiplus.so 
to libgdiplus.dll.so and similar things (copy files to /usr/local/lib, add 
entry to /etc/mono/config) but without any success.

Any suggestion ?
