I would look for a source rpm (not the binary rpm) and try to rebuild
it. Or install from source. Or go to the svgalib site (if there is such
a thing) and see if they support packaging to rpms. If you manage to get
this working let me know...

BTW, so busy I have no time to look it up: what exactly is svgalib... I
have a fuzzy idea but that's it.
