The idea of using 'yum localinstall rpmfile', insted of using 'rpm -ivh 
rpmfile' is that yum localinstall checks the dependencies in the rpmfile 
to install and gets them for the enabled repositories.

If you dont have access to the repositories on the internet, then you 
must create a local yum repository.

Try to read this, i might give you some ideas.
