Nobody else can have this problem since nobody else will have a libreadline
in /usr/local.
What happened? You have a libreadline on your system which is not installed
as part of opensuse or one of its additional repositories and seems to be
somehow compiled or installed by you and which is to old (therefore the
missing symbol).

Check why you have this library /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6 and if you
need it at all. Remove it and use the one from the opensuse repo’s.
