Hi Oded,
Most of those SRPMS files comes with a spec file which I imagince sits on
/usr/src/mandrake/SPECS directory
Inside, most of the time you'll find a part which runs the "configure" script
- so you can change this part to use your libs from other directory or
specific files..
Hope that helps...
