The dependencies in RPM are only meaningful when it comes to packages (and

If you say "Requires: libQtCore.so.4", RPM thinks there is another RPM
package called libQtCore.so.4 that has to be installed prior to this and it
checks its database and it doesn't find it, hence the error.
What you really want is file dependency. I am not sure if RPM supports that,
but you can simply put something like this in your "%pre" section:
RPM supports file dependency (for files provided by RPMs) - just use
the full path:
Requires: /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4
###########
%pre
if [ ! -e /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 ]
then
echo "ERROR: /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 doesn't exist! Bailing out."
exit 1
fi
# end of %pre
###########
That works for files not provided by RPMs.
