Hello Win-Formers ;-),

I'm trying to run a simple WinForms demo (see attachment) on my OSX 
(10.3.8 with X installed) using Mono 1.1.4*. When starting the program 
I'm then getting an error telling me that the gdiplus.dll can't be found.

Then I enable debug (export MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug) and I can then see 
that gdiplus.dll can't be loaded (surprise ;-)). Then I try to see if 
libgdiplus is defined in pkgconfig but typing:
"pkg-config --libs-only-L libgdiplus" but the command does return some 
surprising stuff:

"Package cairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'cairo', required by 'libgdiplus', not found"

and correct cairo.pc is not defined in $MONO_HOME/lib/pkgconfig/. Could 
some of you please tell me what I have to do now to get the Winforms 
running on my OSX? (And yes I have tried to the the application running 
using macpack but without and luck)

best regards,

Jens Andersen

*I'm not starting the program from the x-term but form the "normal" OSX 
terminal.
