Dependency Problem for Installing piding and google talk pulgin

While i'm trying to install pidgin on my Red Hat Linux Using yum it appears Dependency Missing Error. I listed below that missing dependency error details.

libpurple-2.7.3-0.el5.i386 from pidgin has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: cyrus-sasl-md5 is needed by package libpurple-2.7.3-0.el5.i386 (pidgin)

How can i clear this error and install pidgin software using yum. Also i got error like missing dependency for google talk plugin install.

try installing missing plug-ins again using yum

for example

yum -y install cyrus-sasl-md5

also check deplist option

Where is your YUM server? Is it local YUM or you trying to install from RHN.

find out dependent package and install it.
resolvedep option provide list of packages of dependencies.

Code:

#[root@localhost ~]# yum resolvedep libsilcclient-1.0.so.1

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

 * extras: mirrors.hns.net.in

Hope this help
