[Mono-osx] System.Drawing.Image.FromFile - System.DllNotFoundException: gdiplus.dll

[mc2008]

Hi,

I have an app which uses System.Drawing.Image.FromFile. The method works
without any problems when debugging the app through MonoDevelop. However,
when the app (bundled with Mono) is running on a Mac which doesn't have Mono
installed, System.Drawing.Image.FromFile throws an exception:

System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type
initializer for System.Drawing.GDIPlus ---> System.DllNotFoundException:
gdiplus.dll
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Drawing.GDIPlus:GdiplusStartup
(ulong&,System.Drawing.GdiplusStartupInput&,System.Drawing.GdiplusStartupOutput&)
  at System.Drawing.GDIPlus..cctor () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
  at System.Drawing.Image.FromFile (System.String filename, Boolean
useEmbeddedColorManagement) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at System.Drawing.Image.FromFile (System.String filename) [0x00000] in
<filename unknown>:0 

Has anyone else encountered this error? If it's occurring because the
bundling process didn't include gdiplus.dll, do you know where I can find
this DLL?

I would be most grateful to receive your suggestions.

Many thanks.
