Ugh.  You really think so?  If there were some sort of meta-RPM that you
could install to get all that stuff, I'd agree.  Something like this:

rpm -Uvh all-dev-tools.rpm

Really, though...  This guy is still trying to figure out how to install
a single piece of software and you're suggesting he install a bunch of
other dev stuff?  One step at a time, I'd suggest.
