Dan,

A new list of requirements for the FOSSology RPM.   Just for reference, 
this is a Redhat 5.4 installation.

I am going to check with my Unix team to see if they come with Redhat)

Also, some of these dependencies are interesting  as they are already 
installed 

        Postgres - postgresql.i386 0:8.1.18-2.el5_4.1
        PHP - php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 

        [r...@njwashld99 installv5]# rpm -qa php
        php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 
        [r...@njwashld99 installv5]# rpm -qa perl
        perl-5.8.8-27.el5 
        [r...@njwashld99 installv5]# rpm -qa httpd
        httpd-2.2.3-31.el5
        [r...@njwashld99 installv5]# rpm -qa php
        php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
        rpm -qa postgres
        postgresql.i386 0:8.1.18-2.el5_4.1

You'll hear no arguments from me on that one.  Yum should automatically 
resolve these on RHEL5/CentOS5 and beyond, so the kind of troubles George 
is having will gradually go away.

P.S. According to http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/ RHEL4 
will be completely end-of-life on February 29, 2012.  Perhaps we should 
have a party?
