No.
Best way out of this to get it done "cleanly" is to create an rpm file
that has the libraries in it, then install this. Messy, it works, and
it means that you don't have to do "rpm -ih --nodeps" on a package
that you know does have available the libraries etc it needs somewhere
on your system (preferably in /usr/local).
I haven't hit this problem in ages (and I work with linux and redhat
installations every day in my job)... I've *always* managed to find
packages that provide the dependencies for applications that I've
wanted to install.
