Well, the most recent version of CentOS only has Emacs 24.3: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.2.1511/os/x86_64/Packages/ My guess is that this iss an upper bound on what versions of Emacs are provided by RHEL, assuming the latter doesn't have some sort of Debian-like 'backports' repo. If that's so, then 24.5 might need to be manually compiled, hence the request for a list of dependencies. Perhaps one could install the latest available Emacs source RPM, and examine which library dependencies get pulled in? That might list many, if not most, of the dependencies - at least in terms of library /names/, since the version numbers required for 24.5 might be different. i'm not a user of RHEL or CentOS, though. :-) Alexis.
