[MonoDevelop] Monodevelop 4.2.3 fails to build following exception loading Mono.Unix.Native

[Robin Neatherway]

I failed to reply to the list yesterday, so for anyone else who hits
the problem:

I used a non-standard prefix (the same one) for both installations as
I do not have root on this machine. I can confirm that setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the folder containing libMonoPosixHelper.so also
solves the issue.

As suggested by Andrés, using `make run` to launch monodevelop from
the build directory also works.

It was a bit surprising to me that LD_LIBRARY_PATH was required,
because I did not consider the native libraries that must sit between
managed interfaces and the OS libraries.
