"You don't tell us whether you installed the .deb package, the .rpm 
package or one of the tarballs."

Well that's embarrassing.  I downloaded realpath and everything now 
works.  I checked on the libxft and  synaptic reads "libxft2 version 
2.3.1-2" as the latest and the actual file name is "libXft.so.2.3.1"  
which is where ldd reduce links to with:
/usr/lib/reduce/cslbuild/csl$ ldd reduce

I installed from the .deb package.  I would have thought that realpath 
would have been in the dependencies although I realize it's a script.
The downloaded installation files were.
reduce-common_20160412_all.deb
reduce-psl_20160412_amd64.deb
reduce-addons_20160412_amd64.deb
reduce-csl_20160412_amd64.deb
I realize that I probably didn't need them all; but I had a conflict 
circle with GDebi package installer so I removed the old version.  I 
probably could have forced the installation but sometimes that results 
in unpleasantness.

And since I neglected it before here is sysinfo output.
