for i in `rpm -qa` do rpm -ql $i ;done

Seriously, rpm -ql will list all the files with installation path for a
package that is installed. rpm -qpl will tell you where files will be
put in an uninstalled package.

To find out what pieces are needed by a package, rpm -qpR foo.rpm will
list the files, libs, etc needed by package foo.

To also install other needed/suggested packages along with the main one,
--aid is the flag to use. That is typically used with an http or ftp
install or access to a large pile of rpm's. I have not used this flag
before.

www.rpmfind.net is a great resource for finding packages.
