Quite obviously, this is because the library libg2c is missing. In many cases it is straightforward to install this library from the relevant package/software/update manager (look for libg2c, libf2c or g77), but one needs to pay some attention to which version to install, especially on 64-bit platforms, since VNL is a 32-bit application and therefore needs the corresponding 32-bit g2c library.
Some more detailed advice on specific platform will appear in further posts on this thread!
In general, a good resource for locating missing libraries to download is http://rpm.pbone.net/ (click "Search", then go to "Advanced Search" to be able to select distribution, otherwise you usually get way too many results in the search).
