So, I am a .NET developer and I need to run my project on Linux. I was provided with ssh access to a machine with openSUSE Tumbleweed version 20170403 on it. To run System.Drawing.Common functionality I need a libgdiplus package installed, but if I try to install it via "zypper in libgdiplus" command i get "No provider of 'libgdiplus' found." message. This is like my second time dealing with Linux, so i don't have any clue what the hell i am doing. Thanks for helping me.

So I've tried 

zypper in libgdiplus
apt-get install libgdiplus

they give me the same output:

'libgdiplus' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. No provider of 'libgdiplus' found

  • Can you show the commands you use to install it? And the output? – Stefan Apr 23 '20 at 19:45

    Have you tried `zypper search libgdiplus`? You might need `zypper install libgdiplus0` instead of just `libgdiplus`. – choroba Apr 23 '20 at 19:50

    Answer added. I wasn't sure as I'm on a different openSUSE version. – choroba Apr 23 '20 at 20:02

When searching for a package, use 

zypper search ...

first, in this case

zypper search libgdiplus

Sometimes, adding -d is needed to search for "details", i.e. not only the short package descriptions.

In this case, the package for openSUSE is in fact called libgdiplus0, as the search shows. So, to install it, you must specify

zypper install libgdiplus0
