    Are you installing from rpm or compiling from source? If it's from
    source then stow (http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/stow.html) might be
    useful - it puts all the files for an app in one directory and makes
    links from the 'expected' locations to the real files. For example, you
    could have the apps in /usr/local/stow/scribus
    and /usr/local/stow/inkscape with links from /usr/bin etc. Then
    export /usr/local/stow and create the necessary links on the clients.

    You might be able to do something similar with an rpm if it's
    relocatable - see the -prefix and relocate options in man rpm.
