Red Hat RPM Dependency problem
Well when RPM works, you think life is better and when it does not works then you thinks life sucks 
However, RPM has --aid option that solves the Dependency problem. It is created to automatic installation of dependent packages. To use this --aid switch with rpm you need to install special RPM package first called rpmdb-redhat. Locate this package from CD and install it via rpm command:
# rpm -ivh rpmdb-redhat*
Once installed then use rpm command as follows:
# rpm -ivh --aid mysql*
OR
# rpm -ivh --aid rpm-file-name-version.rpm
It will install mysql client with all dependencies. If you are RHN subscriber then you don’t have to use rpmdb-redhat package use up2date command (see how to configure RHN):
# up2date -i -v mysql*
Please note that --aid switch does not works with third party RPM. Fedora user must use YUM. --aid works best if you have all rpm packages copied to single directory on hard disk or on ftp/http server. For example:
# rpm --aid -ivh http://installserver.mycorp.com/rpms/mysql*
