rpm only looks at its database when sorting out dependancies.  If the
package it wants hasn't been installed then the install fails.  You
will manually have to manually install the prerequsite rpm from whatever
media ia you have it on (NFS, FTP, CD-ROM, whatever).  rpm can't do that
for you, as it doesn't know where the media is.
