If you have all the RPM ready to install you can just do `rpm -i *'
and RPM will do things in any required order.

Building is a little different - you do have to know a little
bit about what requires what to compile, but it's not too hard.
I think this will work:

1) gtk+
2) imlib
3) gnome-libs
4) gnome-obj, gnome-guile, mico
5) everything else
