It takes some intuition, I'll admit, to find the right libraries that 
support a particular thing. I seem to remember there was a magic trick to
find the RPM that provides a specific file -- specifically, one that 
*isn't* on your system. A lot of times it is confusing what to install. 
For instance, I was attempting to compile something recently that needed 
/usr/bin/gtk-config and couldn't track down the rpm that provides that 
particular file. 'urpmi gtk' isn't very helpful: it reminds me of my job 
trying to locate a specific John Smith :).

I seem to remember 'qlf' and some other options (maybe it was -qld?) that 
would do it. My first approach was to run this against my current cooker 
mirror. Bash says argument list too long, so I then just use it against 
gtk and eventually find the file. But is there a better approach?

Having something like a "reference" box we could ssh into might be an idea 
...

I'm currently stumped installing a newer kdemultimedia -- I have 
kdemultimedia 3.05a from 9.0 and have most everything else installed for 
3.1.2, except that. I'm getting:

devel(libnoatunarts) is needed by kdemultimedia-devel-3.1.2-10mdk

libnoatunarts is installed - but I can't find whatever it is urpmi thinks 
it needs.
