I had exactly this error, and then realised that I'd left my mono lib
directory out of ld.so.conf. I added the directory (in my
case /opt/mono/lib) to ld.so.conf and re-ran ldconfig and the program
runs. I see you have added your mono library path using LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
but all the same, I think the library is being missed by your system.

Hope that's of some help.
