In a separate note you are using "rpm -ivh [package].rpm". Please use "yum install [package].rpm". yum tries very hard to resolve those dependencies for you, by looking them up in a database built from whatever public software repositories are enabled for your system.
yum uses "rpm", but is more powerful.
