While I am sure you believe that nothing has changed on this machine,
clearly Eudora has been upgraded. This seems like a newer version of
Eudora that requires a newer version of CarbonLib. The version of
CarbonLib that Eudora needs cannot be run on OS 8.1.

You either need to:
1. Upgrade to a newer OS, probably 9 or X
2. Reinstall an older version of Eudora

Does Eudora have an automatic update setting? Do you have more than on
copy of Eudora on your machine? 

Clearly something on your system _has_ changed.
