Andrew,
1. Be root.
2. In directory where your new kdelibs rpms are located, run:
# rpm -Uvh kdelibs*rpm
Whenever you have multiple dependencies like this, rpm can resolve them if
you list them all on the same command line. In the above example, the *
expands to include both basic and devel packages.
