Eddie Portable with Mono 4.4 - libMonoPosixHelper issue

[Clodo 171]

In some Linux distro (ArchLinux for example), Eddie portable edition throw this error:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall ---> System.DllNotFoundException: $mono_libdir/libMonoPosixHelper.so

The issue occurs only with Portable edition and only if Mono 4.4 is installed.
The quick solution is using the Portable (Mono required) version.

Or edit the file /etc/mono/config and replace

<dllmap dll="MonoPosixHelper" target="$mono_libdir/libMonoPosixHelper.so" os="!windows" />

with

<dllmap dll="MonoPosixHelper" target="libMonoPosixHelper.so" os="!windows" />

TL; DR;

/etc/mono/config have an hardcoded path in it, only for libMonoPosixHelper.so

It's a Mono bug. Fedora removed it:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/mono.git/commit/?id=cc7b8dcb9f02810b0322b24e8ac63581d9be8146
I contacted the ArchLinux Mono maintainer about this issue.

This issue can't be fixed in Eddie/AirVPN client, because the above config overwrites the config bundled in portable edition (mkbundle --config)
