To locate the packages try:
locate ntp
rpm -qa | grep ntp
rpm -ql ntp showes you the files, that comes with ntp
If you have further problems with the rpm database, try a
rpm --rebuilddb
To resolve dependency problems, go to www.rpmfind.net and search for
the rpms, you have to install.
Furthermore, you can query a paket with:
--provides - list capabilities package provides
-R, --requires - list package dependencies
--whatprovides <cap> - query packages which provide <cap> capability
--whatrequires <cap> - query packages which require <cap> capability
fi.e.
rpm -qp --provides new.rpm asks a packet, with is not installed yet
I use ntp, it works fine for me, so I cannot say anything to xntpd :(

I usually install the developer Pakets, so I have make, cc and gcc on
my system. You have to install these packets manually.
If you want to have it more convenient, you could use apt-get for RH:
