[opensuse] RPM dependencies

I just tried installing a package on my version of Linux (SLES 9) - I
got the following result:


rpm -i sysstat-5.0.1-35.1.i586.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:
gnuplot is needed by sysstat-5.0.1-35.1



Is there a command (except for rpm -i), to check for dependencies before
I try to install a package ?
