See those "(cached)" notes.  That means it is not really checking for the
esd-config, it is using the answer found in a prior configure.  First,
make sure that esd-config is in the path.  If it isn't, then either
modify the path so it can find esd-config, or set the ESD_CONFIG
environment variable as described above.  Also check to make sure that 
ld.so.conf contains the directory with libaudiofile.  Then try removing
the config.cache file, it should now do a fresh check for esd-config and
afOpenFile.

I haven't seen this error before.  Hopefully someone else knows this
problem.  If this doesn't clear up when you fix the esd-config problem,
you might want to try downgrading sed to the version you had when it was
working, to see if the problem is with the RH5.2 sed.

That sounds more like the result of the sed problem than the esd-config
problem.  No esd, no sound support, but everything should still compile.

Again, make sure esd-config is in your path.

I hope I've been of help.
