it seems you're missing libnsl. install it through this command:

sudo dnf install libnsl

In case this doesn't work you can then download it manually:

  1. Visit https://pkgs.org/

  2. In the search box (pkgs.org of course) type libnsl.so.1 and choose the appropriate OS. The version shown might be higher e.g libnsl-2.28-9.fc29.x86_64.rpm, but it doesn't matter, the file needed is also included in this very package.

  3. In the terminal, navigate to the directory where the .rpm was downloaded.

  4. Type the following command to install it:

    sudo rpm libnsl-2.XX-X.fc29.x86_64.rpm

Upon completion everything should be working fine.
