You can install them for the build and remove them later.  Or do as Sam
recommends and have a devel. machine that you build the RPMs on and a
production machine that you install just the RPMs you need on.  Common
Unix wisdom says that you should not have even a compiler on a production
machine but few follow this practice nowadays.

What distro?  Did you follow the deps?  Why don't you use a tool like
apt-get, yum or up2date so that the deps are automatically installed also?

Bad idea, your much better off just installing the neccessary rpms to
build Courier normally.
