My sympathies; been there, done that.  

That's why I gave up on the RPM based distros.  My distro takes a few
days of compiling, but all the appropriate runtime, devel, and
documentation entities are filed oway where they belong, and I never
need to worry about the dependancies.

Alas, as dep would say, when you're done, all you've got is gentoo, the
distro for crazies. <grin>
