Yes! I thought of that some moments after posting my question, thanks for 
the "reconfirm."
Basically I did a rpm -e --nodeps of zlib, libpng, and libjpeg.
Then I configured each with --prefix=/usr, and --enable-shared (or 
similar). That did it.
Now, hopefully I did not break anything by removing old libs and replacing 
with new ones. So far it looks good.
