Dependencies? It doesn't. Rather, the native Slackware package "management" tools
(removepkg, installpkg, etc.) don't handle dependencies. The package either
installs or it doesn't. I believe slapt-get and the other add-on tools might, 
but OOB Slackware doesn't.

"installpkg *" should do once you've gotten them all downloaded. I take it you've
grabbed pre-built binaries somewhere?
