If it's all the same like with gnome-libs, there is a way, but you have to
compile the packages yourself. Fetch the source RPM, install it and edit
the spec file (this is gnome-libs.spec from CVS):
# Note that this is NOT a relocatable package
%define ver 0.13
%define rel SNAP
%define prefix /usr
Change this to whereever you want to have them installed, for instance
# Note that this is NOT a relocatable package
%define ver 0.13
%define rel SNAP
%define prefix /usr/local
After that, build a new binary RPM and install it:
rpm -bb --clean gnome-libs.spec
rpm -bi ../RPMS/<architecture>/gnome-libs....rpm
The build should work as any user, not only as root.
