Here is how I got mono libgdiplus and gtk-sharp compiled and installed 
on Ubuntu amd64.

Download the sourcecode for mono-1.1.6, libgdiplus-1.0.6, and 
gtk-sharp-1.0.6 from http://www.mono-project.com/Downloads

unpack each sourcecode tarball into a handy directory (I unpacked mine 
into /home/brian/src)

First of all, compile and install libgdiplus by the following commands:

cd into the libgdiplus source directory:

./configure
make
make install

Compile and install mono in the same way.

Finally, compile and install gtk-sharp

To make sure than mono can find the gtk-sharp libraries,

add  /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf then issue /sbin/ldconfig so that 
all the libraries are found. 
(as mentioned here: http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net/faq.html#3.4)

autopanog.exe should then run with the following command "mono 
/usr/local/bin/autopanog.exe" assuming you installed autopanog.exe in 
/usr/local/bin

I based this on the following webpage:  
http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/mono-compiling.html

While this works for me, perhaps if other amd64 users could compile mono 
etc from source and verify that this works!

Hope this helps!
