I noticed that he is not able to create the log file in /tmp.  I noticed that he is not able to create the log file in /tmp.  i noticed that in Centos 8 using the df -h command does not display the tmp mount point.

If anyone can help me, I'll be grateful.

Mensagem editada por: Pablo Michelin well, I ended up finding the solution. I will leave the topic in case someone has the same problem in this scenario. I managed to solve by installing the libnsl.x86_64 library (yum install libnsl.x86_64) After installation the converter stopped showing the error

Moderator: If you add the solution as a reply rather than in your original post, you can mark it as "correct" so that the solution is more obvious to others (and the thread gets a tick against it)
