Never saw that.

You shouldn't need to do that. Start realsoft3d via the supplied
shell script (called "realsoft3d") to which a link has been installed
during installation, typically in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin). It
sets a local LD_LIBRARY_PATH to Realsoft's own libraries.
Never, ever, try to start the binaries directly, i. e. the executables
under /usr/local/realsoft3/bin/. This is asking for trouble.
