There is a build-gnuradio script which is known to work on other
RPM-based systems so maybe you can use that? It should handle all the
dependencies for a full install.
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/InstallingGR#Using-the-build-gnuradio-script

Otherwise the dependencies are listed in the wiki, but finding the
right list can be tricky. Here is one for opensuse:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/SuseInstall

If that's not sufficient or complete, I know the list on this page is good:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/UbuntuInstall

When you succeed maybe you can help us update this page, which seems
hopelessly out of date:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/MandrivaInstall

Concerning the UHD dependency, gr-osmosdr also provides a wrapper
around gr-uhd if UHD is avaialble and I think gr-baz provides some
networking tool for UHD devices, hence the dependency.
