No, you can not use the --nodeps
because in fact i know the dependencies of the gcc-compiler-rpm on AIX i can assure you: in fact you can and this is the way to go. This is a somehwat awkward point in the (overall quite well maintained) rpms of Michael Perzl.
Quote:
Now, there is a tool that automatically checks for each dependency required and it will try to download it from the configured distribution repository.
This tool is yum for RHEL and clones of it, and Fedora <= 21.
Fedora >= 22 had yum replaced by DNF.
Suse uses zypper.
This would be fine if threads OP had't stated that he is on AIX 5.2, which is IBMs version of UNIX for the POWER-hardware (IIRC he did so in his other thread he mentioned). There is an rpm-port for AIX, initiated with AIX 5L and its "Linux-friendly" initiative, but still it is definitely no Linux at all and even its rpm is quite unlike current rpm-versions in Linux systems because in fact it is rpm v3.2. So, even if you'd get yum (which is Phyton-based, so there might be an outside chance) to work on AIX it would perhaps fail because it expects rpm v4.x to be available.
PS: Before you ask: there is a similar situation when installing Mediawiki where you have to install
gettext-0.17-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm and
glib2-2.36.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm with the --nodeps option too, because Michael Perzl has (erroneously?) put in circular requirements.
I hope this helps.

rpmspec
RPMSPEC(8) System Manager's Manual RPMSPEC(8)
NAME
rpmspec - RPM Spec Tool
SYNOPSIS
QUERYING SPEC FILES:
rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE ...
select-options
[--rpms]
[--srpms]
query-options
[--qf,--queryformat QUERYFMT]
[--target TARGET_PLATFORM]
QUERY OPTIONS
The general form of an rpm spec query command is
rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]
You may specify the format that the information should be printed in. To do this, you use the
--qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT
option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string. See rpm(8) for details.
SELECT OPTIONS
--rpms Operate on the binary package header(s).
--srpm Operate on the source package header(s).
SEE ALSO
popt(3),
rpm(8),
rpmdb(8),
rpmkeys(8),
rpmsign(8),
rpm2cpio(8),
rpmbuild(8),
rpmspec --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual
matches what's available.
