    because applications share libraries. and that is why you have package managers like yum , apt-get , yast ... to resolve the dependencies for you.
    Linux and me it's a love story

    Its not just rpm packages. If you compile from source, use debs or any packaging system, you may face dependency issues if the application you are trying to install uses shared libraries.
