I am trying to create a geodatabase using the ArcGIS Pro 2.8 "Create Enterprise Geodatabase" tool.
The database is PostgreSQL 12.7 running on Ubuntu 20.04 (I have also tested on a Debian 10 server with the same results)
After installing Postgres, I copied st_geometry.so from C:/Program Files (x86)/ArcGIS/Desktop10.8/DatabaseSupport/PostgreSQL/12/Linux64/ to /usr/lib/postgresql/12/lib/
(There is also a copy of st_geometry.so in Server 10.9 and I tried that one as well, same error.)
I confirmed that the library loads by connecting to the server as user postgres, using the psql command "load 'st_geometry';".
Output in ArcGIS Pro from "Create Enterprise Geodatabase" looks like this.

XML support is enabled for the database instance.
You must copy the latest ST_GEOMETRY library to the PostgreSQL software location and ensure the correct dependent libraries are also installed. Refer to the ArcGIS help topics for more details.
Connected RDBMS instance is not setup for Esri spatial type configuration.
Failed to execute (CreateEnterpriseGeodatabase).
I have searched community and found several other similar reports, usually the replies talk only about loading st_geometry.dll on a postgresql instance running on Windows; I am running PostgreSQL on Linux not Windows so please don't offer a Windows solution.
This is 2021 so everything is 64-bit including the server and the st_geometry.so file.
cd /usr/lib/postgresql/12/lib
postgres@fc7d300e3ccd:/usr/lib/postgresql/12/lib$ file st_geometry.so
