I have never tried this particular program, so I can't say if it will
work for sure, but I see no reason why it shouldn't. Try doing an
'brandelf -t Linux <file>' and run it again. This will let FreeBSD know
that it's a Linux binary.

If you need glibc 2.3 then you need to install the
'emulation/linux_base-8' port, this is the equivalent to a RedHat 8 base
system, rather than the RedHat 7 base you have installed now.
