As your subject states SuSE 9.0 != SLES9 :)

I'd be skeptical about faking/linking a liblber.so.199 to a
libliber.so.2*;  perhaps SuSE 9.0 had ldap/lber-compat packages that
provided the older LDAP & LBER libraries (both are probably provided
under openldap packages - don't recall, haven't seen a SuSE 9.0 box in a
*long* time).

*maybe*
