   Is the package cups-libs installed? you may just simply need to
'yum install cups-libs' to take care of this. Otherwise, you could set
up a symbolic link from one of these directories
to point to correct place.  You may need to set up some symbolic links
in some cases... I suspect that you don't have
the cups-libs package install, however.
