[oclug] RPM dependancy prob

I'm attempting to install the latest Cacti trending package from RPM on
a FC4 box. I have installed all of the software that Cacti depends on.
One of these dependencies (RRDTool) I compiled and installed from
source, the rest all via RPM. Now, when I go to install Cacti it
complains that RRDTool is a failed dependency.

Do RPM dependencies have to be installed by RPM? Is there any way that I
can make the Cacti package aware on my RRDTool install?

[root at dvbrcspop/download]# rpm -ivh cacti-0.8.6f.fc4.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        rrdtool is needed by cacti-0.8.6f-1.i386
