At a guess you are trying to install from a i386 DVD when you have an x86_64 system? Also, far better to use `yum localinstall $path-to-rpm` that using rpm directly as yum will do dependency resolution for you and pull in the other requirements. However since everything listed there is i386 and includes things that really ought to be installed like glibc, I suspect that you are trying to install the wrong architecture so double check that before you continue.
