Did you try installing `libnsl` package?

From a quick search, this seemed to work for some users of other applications where this caused problem (e.g. see [https://github.com/AppImage/pkg2appimage/issues/336#issuecomment-419797608](https://github.com/AppImage/pkg2appimage/issues/336#issuecomment-419797608)).
