Hm. But that might add some ickyness WRT multiple lib versions, and
one (hopefully the one that gets used) installed from source... More
or less without the lusers^H^H^H^H^Hadmins knowledge... "There was a
bunch of things that scrolled of the screen...":-). Perhaps not the
best solution.
One could dream up a bunch of more or less workable solutions, but I'm
unsure if there is one that lack any substantial drawbacks...

Although the base problem is due to the rpm system/the distributors, I
see no really good solution.
