Look in rpmfind.net or similar mirror for the packages you need, they
should be there. If you are sure you have the necessary libraries you
can force the installation without the dependencies problem with
rpm --nodeps, but you have to be sure that you have the needed
libraries.

I know you're trying to help, but grabbing packages from rpmfind.net is a bad idea unless you're very careful not to mix packages from different distributions (and even different versions of the same distro). If you mix packages from different distros you will very shortly be in what some people refer to as 'dependency hell'.
