Dear C?sar Soler,
Once you wrote about "installing rpm packages recursively":

rpm by itself does not have an option to install all dependacies.
Mandrake Linux distribution has a took, afaik, that handles this
problem. It's called something like irpm, or nrpm, or prpm, or
something like that. :)
RedHat 8.0's rpm can suggest you what packages to install.
If you don't have any of the above, you can still hack something up, if
you have access to a full list of RPMs. I'd say you need to use --qf
(query format) option to do that.
