That's the reason you use yum. It will match up with your installed 
kernel and pick up any dependencies.

yum install kmod-nvidia

should be all it takes (advice that has previously been mentioned 
recently...).

Or, from the rpm.livna.org page, follow the "Why switch to the 
Livna-packaged drivers" link near the top, then read the section towards 
the bottom of that page under "Com, Tell Me, How Do I Use This?".
