Are you running a libc5 rvplayer on a libc6 system (like Red Hat 5.x)?
In that case esddsp won't work with rvplayer. For example on my system:

$ ldd /usr/local/bin/rvplayer
	libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x4000d000)
	libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4001e000)
	libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40061000)
	libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4006c000)
	libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x40103000)
	libg++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libg++.so.27 (0x40106000)
	libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27 (0x4013e000)
	libm.so.5 => /usr/i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1/lib/libm.so.5 (0x4016f000)
	libc.so.5 => /usr/i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1/lib/libc.so.5 (0x40177000)
	libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40236000)
	libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x4023e000)

$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libesddsp.so.0.2.7
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40009000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4000c000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40028000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)


So rvplayer is libc5 and libesddsp.so is libc6. And:

$ esddsp rvplayer
rvplayer: can't load library 'libesddsp.so'

It doesn't work as expected. (Although our error messages differ.)

Question (to all): would it work with a statically linked libesddsp.so?
