Shared Libraries with the same name

This works fine for the application, but anything else that depends upon /usr/lin/libspi.so fails to work because it tries to use $APPDIR/lib/libspi.so
Is there any way that the above problem can be avoided and for two shared libraries with the same name to co-exist.
