It would be nice if anyone fedora-user seeing this problem can test if the same is happening with freecad installed via conda. Else we can't do much about it.
The 'native' 0.18 Fedora package has oce which I found problematic and I had turned to AppImage for quite sometime (despite some other fallback I had not had time to overcome) to run FC. Would have no alternative if AppImage no longer run.
P.S. We could add a note for Fedora users or try bundling libnsl in the AppImage in the future.
Oh Thanks @Triplus
Very basic problem and solution indeed!
Not thought of it is an 'external library' missing - Long time not trying to maintain a linux system (still running a Scientific Linux 6.x for no use) that lost the sense of searching external library dependency
And FC runs!
... though the interface becomes slightly uglier ?

FreeCAD 0.18.1 is provided as a flatpak. It runs well on Ubuntu, as I assume it would on fedora. I don't use IfcOpenShell though.
