.... make sure the variable has been export'd to the environment.

     # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/my_soft_dir

is insufficient

     # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/my_soft_dir

works much better.


I suspect that Zot may be right though.  RPM is looking for the
dependency in it's own database.  Try "--force" or "--nodep" ...
