That way, you'll override the files of your RPMs, and mess up your system. Once the RPM is upgraded, you'll lose your files. A better solution would be to either install it under /usr/local and point the GIMP to it, or better yet install it under a unique path (like /usr/local/apps/glib-2.8) and also point the GIMP there. That way, you can remove such installed programs easily once you don't need them.
