I put x86-64 SL 6 on a "fresh" harddrive.  However, I have a separate 
mounted harddrive that is not in the system search path (neither for 
executables/scripts nor for libraries) but that contains an IA-32 EL 5 
image, including all (most?) of the above missing files in what is the 
equivalent of /usr/lib .  If I cp -pr the files from the equivalent, 
that is, /oldusr/lib to /usr/lib, will the above RPM install, or must I 
either

(1) get current SL 6 IA-32 RPMs that contain the above .so files to 
resolve the dependencies.

(1.1)  if so, how does one one find which RPM provides the above (I have 
an output from, e.g., 
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/libXinerama.so.1 
, but this seems to show SL 4 and no more current SL)?

(2) try rpm -iv --force --nodeps and then cp -pr /oldusr/lib/foobar.so.M 
/usr/lib where foobar.so.M is one of the missing .so files, for the 
entire list of missing .so files, so that ldd will find the necessary 
.so files.

If both (1) and (2) will work -- (2) always should work barring special 
configuration files, say in /etc,  needed by a .so -- which is the 
better alternative?
