Adam,

The binary distribution was compiled with RH 7.3.
You may need to compile the distribution locally with your 9.0
set up if it is not able to run binaries compiled with a lower version.

Most of the time, OS releases are upward compatible, but there have been
so many bugs/patches etc with 9.0 that I can't guarantee it. Have
you made all the suggested/required patches to 9.0?
