make sure /usr/local/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf
Oh, hang on, you say failed DEPENDENCIES. You're trying to install an rpm,
but you know you have (at least some) of the libraries...

rpm -ivh --nodeps <filename.rpm>
rpm stops and complains about dependencies if the files weren't installed by
rpm but DO exist. It only checks the rpm database.

The --nodeps switches off dependency checking.
