REACT: Does REACT 7.000 and later support RedHat 8?

Environment/Versions
REACT - Release 7.000 and later.
Answer
REACT has been confirmed to work on Redhat 8.9 but we found in our testing that some needed libraries were removed after upgrading to Redhat 8.9.
If you upgrade to Redhat 8.9 and find issues with starting REACT, similar to the example below, you will need to install the missing libraries.   Here is a yum command that can be used to install the missing libraries:

yum install libnsl.i686 ncurses-compat-libs.i686 motif.i686 motif libXaw libXaw.i686 libXtst.i686 libdb.i686

Example of errors encountered with starting REACT:
