I'm working on an updated version of the launch script that doesn't
use bash 3.x syntax. I'll let you know hen it's done.

Why do you have glib in /opt?

MD uses DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH to set the path for the Mono
framework. If you're using DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, you're most likely
forcing your older, incompatible glib to get loaded first, thereby
breaking Mono:
  Reason: Incompatible library version: mono requires version 1801.0.0
or later, but libgthread-2.0.0.dylib provides version 1401.0.0

Try DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib
