Cant install RPMs on FC5!?!?!

Everytime I try to install an RPM it tells me I need another piece of software.

I will add some copied errors (Thursday, November 30th).

I dont understand, I have better luck installing from source. And I have so many problems and so little resources I dont know what to do.

I can only install some software be removing features like usb support.

I am logged in as root.

they are not errors, they are rpm dependencies. as you're on fedora core 5, i'm guessing you've not actually discovered yum yet? It will make installing rpm's a really simple thing.

I dont know about yum

I tried in but didnt really understand it.

Do you know of any documantation?

I do not have the internet at home either
