RenderManForBlender: Crashes on Ubuntu 22.04 , Blender 2.93 LTS

I have installed Renderman on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS using the renderman installer, and I have also installed the plugin. How to reproduce the crash:

In the render properties, in the “Render engine” menu, I select “Renderman”. I add a “Lama Add” material to the default cube. As I click the render button it fails. The error message is:

That’s ok for me, but actually not for Pixar. The NCR is intended to give future customers an insight and to attract them. However, this does not work for Linux users. Even with the installer, you need help from the Internet to get it running on a reasonably up-to-date system. There are simply too many libraries linked to the outdated centos 7 that you have to laboriously search for. The server doesn’t look any better either. Most users are already frustrated at this point and instead use a competitor’s product that works out of the box.
