Only if they've been generated by RPMs.  You could do a "rpm -Va" which 
would verify the integrity of all installed RPMs.  If you've installed 
via tarballs, you're pretty much screwed.

There is no "supposed to be seen".  Its wherever ld.so.conf finds it. 
Once again, if you're playing with RPMs, then you either need to do a 
--nodeps install, or start picking apart the RPM to determine where it 
expects the piece to be.
If you're doing a from source install (tgz or SRPM), then you'll usually 
be able to specify the 'nontraditional' location via a ./configure 
switch.  Run "./configure --help" to see all the choices.

Quite honestly, i think your system is too much of a mess of conflicting 
& duplicated
libraries to be fixed at this point.
