Why the --nodeps ??

yum chows a lot of RAM .. and time, on a low ram system.

but it figures out what you need.

Then you do not need the "etc. etc. etc." story.

However, *-devel rpms are sometimes quite lazy about their requirements.

you could usefully (given disk space and bandwidth) do an install of all *-devel rpms.

Skip the --nodeps.
