RPMs will NOT detect packages installed from source (I simplify, there
is checkinstall).

Download the required RPMS from freshrpms.net

[devdas at evita devdas]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libaa.so.1
aalib-1.4rc5-fr0.rh73.1

Actually, if you want to make the dependency tracking easier, I suggest
installing the apt port from FreshRPMs and using that to install other
software.
Or you could do what I did and download all the RPMs individually from
freshrpms and install them by hand.
