It is "cd /usr/lib/rt-exec"
When I don't change to /usr/lib/rt-exec but run "/usr/lib/rt-exec/start &", the program fail to run with the same error as with the sysmlink.
I try a simple script "rt-exec" in /usr/sbin:

#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/lib/rt-exec
./start &

and it just work. start can take some parameters and options, so it will be needed to add those possibilities in the script.

I think at the only needed symlinks are in fact for stop_exec and crunchsys. The other commands are not mandatory,
