check out www.ximian.org and find an app called red-carpet. It'll help you out on those rpm dependencies so you won't have to download them manually.

to install rpm's:
rpm -ivh foo.rpm

to upgrade:
rpm -Uvh foo.rpm

to uninstall rpm's:
(first you need to find the app:)
rpm -qa | grep foo
(then type the name and version of the app:)
rpm -e foo

thanks a lot ....but there a prob.i install the rmp package for red carpet
but i dont know where he goe...i still try to find it...maybe you could know?

I believe the command is red-carpet

to find files:
locate foo
be sure you did a 'updatedb' as root first.
- this'll help find some commands somewhere. but usually you'll find them in /usr ...
