Unresolvable Dependencies installing ncl and ncl-common
Description of problem:
I try to install ncl-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64.rpm.
Missing Dependency: ncl-common = 5.1.1-3.el5 is needed by package ncl-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64 (/ncl-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64)
I try to install ncl-common-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64.rpm
Missing Dependency: ncl = 5.1.1-3.el5 is needed by package ncl-common-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64 (/ncl-common-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64)
So the cat is biting into its tail, as we say in Germany.
(System: RHEL 5.4 64 bit in virtualbox 3.1.4 on xp host)
Any suggestions very appreciated.

Thanks a lot. I had found already the EPEL repo and downloaded the packages, but did not know anything about the tool EPEL. It worked.
Dr.Love:
Your command line would have worked, but there were some more missing dependencies, I had not mentioned.
Thanks again both of you for your fast reply.
If dependencies were in active repositories on your system, yum would install them automatically. Only if they are not in active repositories "yum localinstall" fails. Just FYI.
