By installing it manually, I meant I tried "yum install libdbus" amongst 
others, but they didn't work - I'm probably going off down the wrong 
track...  How about my other question - why isn't yum sorting out these 
dependency issues for me - I've not done anything other than install & 
update things through yum, so there shouldn't be anything nonstandard on 
my system.
