Jim, rpm -ivh --aid file.rpm
Will work only if the rpm dependencies files are in the same directory of the package you're trying to install (and running the command). yum localinstall file.rpm Will work if you have configured a repository on /etc/yum.conf (or similar) which has a reference to the path of the rpm dependecies, also file.rpm is a local file. The yum command does not require to be executed from the path where the file.rpm is located.

You mean I can install a downloaded rpm and the rpm program will make use of yum (or?) to automatically resolve dependencies? =-O Whoa! I didn't know that. Why has that feature been hidden from me? ;-) I could have used that knowledge 20+? times in the last 2 years! >..
