If you have samba and samba4 and need libwbclient in samba4 you can build it 
as a internal library.

./configure --private-libraries=wbclient

Then you need to filter out the libsmbclient.so.0() symbol from the provides 
and requires.


This is at least how I do it in RHEL6. So you can install samba and samba4-
libs in paralell.
