Select rescue that should reinstall everything.

Or you can simply do a full install. Assuming you have a standard Suse partitioning setup. At the point the install asks to confirm the partitioning manually tell it NOT to format the home partition just mount it as /home.

Note since you are using 10.2 it is no longer supported and you will not be able to update from the repositories. 10.3 is the oldest that is being supported and that support will not last long since 11.3 is due out soon.

Lesson learned: Never ever replace a library make a backup first (rename it) be for adding a new.
