It means that you downloaded a SVGAlib binary compiled against
the old libc (i.e. libc 5, used by Redhat 5 and other distros).
You should be able to find a more recent binary compiled against
libc6.
Alternately (and preferably) you could also get the sources and
compile them yourself. Provided you have a compiler installed and
working, it's not hard. It shouldnt require any more than to
unpack the source, cd into it, (maybe edit Makefile.cfg to set
BACKGROUND to N, or comment it out), and type make install to
compile it and set it up.
