I'm not very sure about this, but it looks like an old libc5 version of
esd is being found.  Chances are there is a package containing a newer
version of libesd (which is linked against libc6) for Suse 6.4 somewhere
around.  ESD is the Enlightened Sound Daemon.

(I have a Suse 6.3 box here that has /usr/lib/libesd.so.0.2.15)
