Installing yum and createrepo

Hello all,
I'm stuck with a problem on REDHAT Enterprise (uname -r show: 2.4.21-57.ELsmp)

The only way to install package is using RPM, but since I'm a newbie I got a lot of dependencies warnings. I installed yum, but the problem now is that I'm not able to create a local repository to install package (the machine is not connected to internet).

I created all the yum related directories (/var/yum/5Server/Server) and pu the rpm into "Server". I also create e repodata directory.

Now I need to use createrepo app, but I'm not able to install it. I'm getting crazy since using RPM I received a lot of errors/dependencies warnings (see below).

Could someone advice on how install createrepo and on how update the outdated yum installation???

rpm -i createrepo-0.9.6-3_10.el4.noarch.rpm
