Rld errors how to fix
Relocatable loader
rld is a program that maps or loads shared objects into an applications memory space (also known a dynamic link libraries)..
Problem
You might see:
1586:./blender: rld:Error: unresolvable symbol in ./blender: llrint 1586:./blender: rld Error: unresolvable symbol in ./blender: _nanf_val 1586:./blender: rld:Fatal Error: this executable has unresolvable symbols
Diagnosis
You should run:
ldd ./blender
Solution
You should see libraries that you need to install.
If there are no missing libraries, O/S version system calls and run time libraries like the C runtime library are in shared objects also, if your O/S version is too old compared to the version of the O/S that application was built on, then you need to upgrade your O/S version (nekoware runs on 6.5.22 or later)..
You might also want to check your library path, it is list of directories that are checked for the shared object files (*.so)
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
From a shell you might want to do a
find / -name (name of missing .so file) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:(directory containing missing .so file)
You might want to add something like the export line to a login or shell start up script, eg, .login .cshrc, .bash_profile, etc...
