What you are hitting is dependency hell: where on package needs another package, which needs another package and so on. Since you are running YellowDog Linux, you should have YUM installed by default. YUM is the YellowDog Updater Modified. Type in
Code:
man yum
to read up on how to use it. Also check the YellowDog website for hints and tips.

And welcome to LQ

Did you read the information about YUM as suggested earlier. If you had, you would have already solved your problem. Install the package you want using yum, e.g. asroot you would do
Code:
#yum install packagename
This will install your package and all its dependencies.
