"zypper:error while loading shared libraries" means that zypper itself is installed already. It is some library that is missing, "libzypp.so", which is located in my system at "/usr/lib64/libzypp.so", so it is "libzypp". You will have to repeat for every missing or incompatible library that zypper needs.
Well that's what I thought too, so I downloaded the libzypp first and
still was unable to start zypper. I checked my rpms and no zypper.
No zypper? That contradicts the error you posted. Curious!
Maybe zypper was broken? A reinstall would pull in all its dependencies.
Nope. A reinstall with zypper or yast, yes it would. But not a reinstall with the rpm command. The rpm command checks that all deps are satisfied, but can not pull anything. Everything has to be available locally and named in the command line. What we forgot was to try YaST, but YaST doesn't have a "zypper dup" equivalent. Also, to avoid this kind of problem, telling zypper to download everything in advance would have allowed us to install things with rpm as the proper packages would be already in a directory for our use.
Well, you got it running again :-)
