In instances like these, I have used the -ivh -force and -nodeps and then got the later rpm from the install cd and done an rpm -force on that rather than a -uvh so that you get the earlier library files and the later library files as well.
Does that explain it well. It is not an ideal situation, I would love to have a rpm viewer/installer that allowed you to browse the rpm file (like winzip does allow you to view inside zip files) and extract only the file you need. This may or may/not exist, I am not sure.
