Put these RPMs all in a single directory:

gmp
rpm-python
python-xmlrpc
rhn_register
python
up2date

Put those, and only those, in a single directory. Then cd into it and
type:

rpm -ivh *

Done. Unless I missed a dependency. There shouldn't be any, but if there
are complaints about conflicts with older stuff, change the -ivh to -Uvh
and try again.

For this and other matters, rpmfind is your friend. You can go to
rpmfind.net and search for each dependency (libraries: libgmp.so.3 or
rpm names: rpm-python). Then just download the requirements that are
called for in the version numbers.
