If you install the lib "libXawM.so.1" by installing the RPM XawM your
dependency problem should go away. One place you may be able get the RPM
is at: <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50078>

Side Note: "rpm" doesn't look in the file system for a FILE or whatever
to solve any dependency needs, but instead queries it's local internal
DATABASE and this database only gets updated to reflect that something
is installed when it's installed by the "rpm" method.
