You installed the compatibility libraries, right?

I had this problem too; turns out that one of the compat2x libraries
stomps on /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 with an incompatible(!) library missing
_vasprintf.

The fix is easy: restore that library from the bin distribution.

Predictably, they all eventually wandered away, rubbing their bruises
and brushing mud out of their hair.  Some went off to work for the
ESA, launching much smaller rockets into low orbits, while others
elected to sit on their front porches drinking Jim Beam from the
bottle and launching bottle rockets from the empties. [Jordan Hubbard]
