Sounds like the permissions on /lib/libproc.so.2.0.6 have become mangled.
Go:
ls -ld /lib/libproc.so.2.0.6
It should look like this:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46224 Aug 28 13:16 /lib/libproc.so.2.0.7
(I have a slightly newer release than you). Basicly, there should be read (r)
and execute (x) permissions for all three permission groups.
First fix that, if that's what's wrong.
Then try to figure out what happened - permissions don't just "decay".
Have you perhaps been mucking around near that directory as root?
Also check that everything is ok compared to how the RPM database
thinks it should be. For example, here's what I did for this email:
[~/lnc]amadeus*> locate libproc.so
/lib/libproc.so.2.0.7
That told me where the library was.
[~/lnc]amadeus*> L `!!`
L `locate libproc.so`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46224 Aug 28 13:16 /lib/libproc.so.2.0.7
Checks the permissions.
[~/lnc]amadeus*> rpm -qf !$
rpm -qf `locate libproc.so`
procps-2.0.7-11
This tells me that the library comes from the procps RPM package.
[~/lnc]amadeus*> rpm --verify procps
[~/lnc]amadeus*>
This checks the procps package against what is actually installed.
As you can see, it made no complaints, so my system is ok in this regard.
You can check your whole system this way:
rpm --verify -a
See "man 8 rpm" for an explaination of what the output means; it's a big
manual entry, so search for "VERIFY OPTIONS". Also, expect some differences.

On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament],
'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will
the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the
kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
