It's likely that the library depends on another library that you have
installed and that you didn't copy (or you use a windows binary on a
linux system, who knows, you provide too few details).
You can run with:
	MONO_LOG_LEVEL="debug" MONO_LOG_MASK="dll" mono yourprogram.exe
as detailed in the man page to see what error might happen when loading
your library.
