./Bin/rmserver: relocation error: ./Bin/rmserver: undefined symbol: g_nTLSProcnum

[Chris Shenton]

We've been running RealMedia's Linux reallserver9 on FreeBSD-4 for years, 
and now my client wants realserver11, built for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

The binary was missing a library, so I installed what I thought was
the right thing, like:

  rpm2cpio libgcc-3.3.2-6.i386.rpm | cpio --extract

It provided, in /compat/linux/usr/lib:

  libgcc_s-3.3.2-20040109.so.1
  libgcc_s.so.1 -> libgcc_s-3.3.2-20040109.so.1             

This allowed the installer to run, but when I run the server binary
itself, it bombs:

  ./Bin/rmserver: relocation error: ./Bin/rmserver: undefined symbol: g_nTLSProcnum

I've attached a truss at the bottom of this message

For yucks, I copied the software to my home FreeBSD-6 machine, and
after creating a symlink for a library it wanted:

  libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.5

running it failed with exactly the same problem. Hmmmmm....

I'm out of my depth here but guessing the runtime loader isn't at the
correct version.  A strings in /compat/linux/lib/ld-linux.so shows the
"relocation error" message.

  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  90212 Nov 12  2003 ld-2.3.2.so
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel     11 Dec 27 15:56 ld-linux.so.2 ->  ld-2.3.2.so

As I said, I'm out of my depth here. 
Thanks for any clues you can provide.
