If you sign up for the Red Hat Network (one box free per sign up) you 
can get round these problems.

It is easier if the package is provided by Red Hat, it is a matter of 
running up2date -u package and it will download the package and 
dependancies.

If the software is not packaged by RH, you can often resolve the 
dependancy chain using up2date.

Kind regards
