Are you sure you have permission to write to /usr/src/redhat? I think root (unless you changed the directory permissions) is the only one allowed to mess around in there.

Good Luck

Cut and paste the error message so we can see what we're looking at. What software/source codes are you trying to install that is requiring you to install with --nodeps flag?
