rpm doesn't check for the existance of the file, it checks it's database
to see if it's been installed by an rpm file. If you're sure that all
dependancies are met, then you can use --nodeps, and rpm will install
your software without a successful check for required libs/packages.
A better solution, however, is to obtain the src.rpm, and --rebuild it.
You MAY be able to install libstdc++-2.9.0-24 and glibc from Red Hat
6.1, but I can't verify that it will work correctly.
