Do you get the same errors while trying to install using the commands?

rpm -ivh <package>.rpm? If you have not tried, please do and tell us.

ok linuxlover.chaitanya, i tried to install in command line but i get some errors,

failed dependecies
and shows some list of files


Plz tell me what should i do to overcome my problem, i would be really tankfull to you.

Can you use this rpm -ivh <package>.rpm --nodeps and see if the errors still there?
You can also use yum to install the package. What is the package that you are trying to install by the way/

That's the issue.

What do you get with this command?
