On centos 4[edit]
gmp,readline and expat are already installed, and elfutils-0.97.1-5.i386 needs elfutils-libelf-0.97.1-5 to be installed
Proper solution yum -y update
On centos 6[edit]

rpm -Uhv http://mirror.stanford.edu/yum/pub/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/{rpm-4.8.0-19.el6.x86_64,rpm-libs-4.8.0-19.el6.x86_64,gpgme-1.1.8-3.el6.x86_64,nss_compat_ossl-0.9.6-1.el6.x86_64,pygpgme-0.1-18.20090824bzr68.el6.x86_64,python-iniparse-0.3.1-2.1.el6.noarch,python-pycurl-7.19.0-8.el6.x86_64,python-urlgrabber-3.9.1-8.el6.noarch,rpm-python-4.8.0-19.el6.x86_64,yum-3.2.29-22.el6.centos.noarch,yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-16.el6.x86_64,yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.30-10.el6.noarch}.rpm
