I know little about Suse, but my understanding is that 10.3 is four years old and isn't supported anymore (by Suse that is) - the message you're getting is for a missing GTK+ library (see e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2159389/gtk-libgio-2-0-so-0-not-installed-on-the-target-machine which has more links)

you'll likely have to manually install missing libraries.
