    Since you rebuilt all of the rpms from source already, I think that the
    suggestion that Robert made about putting all of the rpms in a single
    directory and running rpm -Fvh *.rpm if you want to upgrade only rpms
    that are installed on your system. The F flag does not install the
    program if it is not already installed on the system. The functionality
    of rpm should sort the install order and resolve the dependacies with
    the whole pool of rpms in one directory.
    If you want to install all of the rpms you built from source, run rpm
    -Uvh *.rpm from within the directory that contains all the rpms. This
    should allow rpm to resolve dependacies and package install order.

    Giving rpm the wildcard symbol ensures that rpm will see all of the pool
    and do its best to sort out everything. Giving rpm just a certain
    filename patern will only have rpm try to resolve from the filename
    patern that was given as the argument. (gn*.rpm will only choose/resolve
    from rpms with gn something in the names. *.rpm will use all packages
    available.)
