Not really, major numbers on libraries aren't compatible. Linux, unlike
Windows, provides a way to tell the difference between versions.

You'll need to put the path to the new (old) libraries in /etc/ld.so.conf
and run ldconfig
You'll also (I think) need /lib/ld-linux.so.1
There should be an RPM that does all this for you, can't think of what it's
called tho
