It's often not as bad as it looks, there is often more than one of the
dependencies in the one package.
I usually install from a tty and have my browser on the gui connected to
http://rpmfind.net
I do and rpm -Uvh install of the rpm I want
then if a dependency comes up I do a search for the package, install that
and then try the original install again. Ok sometimes it takes a while but
often not as long as it seems at first. It just takes a little patience..
