Ah, the nodeps feature. *groan*

RedHat has to be one of the worst distributions when it comes to being able to automatically install programs.
With RH, I always built from source. Always. I couldn't stand RPMs for your very problem! I was constantly using nodeps. If you want a good Linux distribution that tries much harder at making things easier for you, go for Gentoo.
If you want a BSD system that does the same, I would highly suggest OpenBSD or FreeBSD. Much more stable and the ports system bloody well rocks.
Both Gentoo and BSD' "ports" system install software directly from the source exactly how you want them. RPMs tend to miss features you want in the binaries.
