Sorry.  Looks like that should have been

rpm -Uvh elfutils*

As Michael pointed out, rpm expects to have all of the packages needed
for the transaction specified on the command line.  I don't think
there is really any problem using rpm to do this install once you have
all the needed packages at hand, but it's certainly far easier to use
yum.  :)

On my system I have these:

elfutils-0.125-1.fc6.i386.rpm
elfutils-libelf-0.125-1.fc6.i386.rpm
elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125-1.fc6.i386.rpm
elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.125-1.fc6.i386.rpm
elfutils-libs-0.125-1.fc6.i386.rpm
