Yeah, I think you didnt install the dynamic Python 2.7 library. For examples of Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 please check this github:

https://github.com/opicron/mysticbbs

The Dockerfiles contain the commands how I build my Python enviroment? What Linux (or Windows) are you on? If not Ubuntu, please search for how to install Python 2.7 dynamic library on your distribution.

oP!
