Hmm... Well, It looks like opera is giving you the error, not bash.
Its standard to strip your compiled programs after compiling them (this
removes a bunch of code from the executable that it doenst need). If
there are versions of opera compiled for lib5 and lib6, then try them
both! that would be a lot easier than installing a new distro (although
you may need to do that anyway...)
Have you tried downloading the source and compiling it
yourself? you may have better luck (you also may end up installing a bunch
of stuff just to be able to compile it...).
