My guess would be that when loading dynamic libraries, MacOS isn't
looking in the directory your program's in. Try setting
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH to your program's directory in your launch
script.

AFAIK the "done thing" for library paths on Mac is to use absolute
paths, with some variables - the following explains this:

With Mono, I'd use dllmaps and DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH.
