Thus spake Wikipedia: 
A segmentation fault (often shortened to segfault), bus error or access violation is generally an attempt to access memory that the CPU cannot physically address.

I can't think of a single reason why a functional Linux operating system would return a SEGV
on the execution of 'ldd'.  You'll need to work this issue with the system administrator.

If you're getting SEGVs from 'ldd', you've got way more problems than inability to setup ArcSDE.
I can't really help you stabilize your OS, but you're going to need that before you're likely to make
progress on the ArcSDE install.
