How do I tell rpm that I have installed some packages from tgz? It refuses to install software that requires these files. With rpm, I can use nodeps, but with redcarpet, I cannot. RedCarpet requires all dependencies to be met.

Try using checkinstall. What it does is that once you have installed checkinstall, whenever you build a package from a tarball what you need to do is do a
./configure checkinstall make checkinstall make install (or checkinstall setup or whatever)
it will build the rpm (or .deb or slackware ; this is user configurable.) package and install it as an rpm thus also updating your rpm database. A sleek extra is that you now have a readymade .rpm or .deb that you can install directly on another machine if you want to.

I'm still stuck with the loads and loads of apps that I've already installed from rpm. How do I handle those?
