As Adam suggested if you will do

 yum install scangearmp-common-1.20-1.i386.rpm

instead of

 rpm -U scangearmp-common-1.20-1.i386.rpm

then yum should find required libraries "by itself" (that on an
assumption that you are running on 32-bits; if not then you would have
to add 32-bit repositories to a set searched by yum).

A presence of libtiff-compat strongly indicates that there is no
conflict between the current libtiff and libtiff.so.3 so all
"fun-and-games" with LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not needed as correct libraries
will be linked in a default configuration.
