To make a library known to the system, its path has to be 
in /etc/ld.so.conf

So, edit that to include all your libs paths (e.g. /usr/lib/), and then 
run
# ldconfig (as root)

No need to reboot.

Having said that, I doubt that this will solve the RPM dependency 
problems. --nodeps and --force should do the trick.
