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.)
