If it was simply in a standard lib location such as /usr/lib or 
/usr/lib64 then it probably is a blocker, otherwise I'm not sure but 
have a look at the following which should point you in the right 
direction for getting it fixed.

This might be useful from the man page of ld.

"-soname=name
When creating an ELF shared object, set the internal DT_SONAME field to 
the specified name.  When an executable is linked with a shared object 
which has a DT_SONAME field, then when the executable is run the dynamic 
linker will attempt to  load  the  shared object specified by the 
DT_SONAME field rather than the using the file name given to the linker."
