Yet another tip.
The script /usr/bin/monodevelop
is not valid for Arch.
The environment variables created contains invalid paths.
A working script goes like this
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#Workaround for Unity gnome shell
export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0
# Ubuntu overlay scrollbars are not working well with the 1px boundaries in the monodevelop shell
export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0
# The Oxygen GTK theme crashes unless this is set
export OXYGEN_DISABLE_INNER_SHADOWS_HACK=1
# Add our bin/ to LD_LIBRARY_PATH so we can override system libs with bundles
### correct LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/monodevelop/bin/:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
#this script should be in $PREFIX/bin
MONO_EXEC="exec -a monodevelop mono-sgen"
### correct EXE_PATH
EXE_PATH="/usr/lib/monodevelop/bin/MonoDevelop.exe"
_MD_REDIRECT_LOG="${MD_REDIRECT_LOG:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/MonoDevelop/log}"
if [ -n "$_MD_REDIRECT_LOG" ]; then
mkdir -p `dirname "$_MD_REDIRECT_LOG"`
$MONO_EXEC $MONO_OPTIONS "$EXE_PATH" $* 2>&1 | tee "$_MD_REDIRECT_LOG"
else
$MONO_EXEC $MONO_OPTIONS "$EXE_PATH" $*
fi
If I missed something please say so.

According to the issue described by kingkhan94, https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/issues/8006, for the last year or so MonoDevelop 8.0 has not been buildable on anything but Mac. The community has created a fork for a new environment at https://github.com/dotdevelop/dotdevelop.
