at this point, mkltfs not works due to error of shared lib.

$ mkltfs --version
mkltfs: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.50: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

resolve shared lib error

Install icu4c-50

wget https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/releases/download/release-50-2/icu4c-50_2-src.tgz
tar zxvf icu4c-50_2-src.tgz
cd ./icu/source
./configure
make
sudo make install

modify library reference

$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/HPE-SOS.conf
/usr/local/lib64
$ echo "/usr/local/lib" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/HPE-SOS.conf
/usr/local/lib
$ sudo ldconfig -v

now mkltfs works!
