rpm is not very inteligent, it looks for files in directories specified by the person who created the rpm.. If your sure the application is installed, make sure its the only dep the rpm is failing on, then do an rpm --nodeps or something like that, man rpm will give you the crrect syntax..
Another option is to make sure ld.conf is linking the .so file correctly.. man ld.conf for more info.. what you want to do is do a verbose link, and make sure you see the files your looking for mentioned.. if so, they its the rpm problem mentioned above, it's simply looking in the worng place for the files.. I too am fairly newbie, so if I'm wrong please state it publicly..
