The problem has nothing to do with rpm. The OP tried to install a package that depends on another one which isn't there. The only two ways around this are either ignoring the dependency (--nodeps) or installing the missing package first. The are various rpm installers around that can do the latter automatically and recursively if required. I wonder how apt would have handled this situation "more reliably"... The real issue, however, is that libpanel_status.so (and gnome-core as a whole) are only present in Gnome version 1.x and RH8 comes with Gnome version 2. I can't offer any concrete help here, my first shot would be building the software from tar ball. If it insists on Gnome 1 stuff and refuses to build, uninstalling the Gnome 2 environment from the box and installing Gnome 1.4 from tar ball or rpm's should do the trick. That, or simply using RH7.3 instead of RH8.
