That depends... on so many things.
First: are you (or is (s)he) installing some pre-compiled package from
RHEL? (which version of RHEL are we talking about?)
If yes, the RedHat package manager "knows": we'll just have to find out
how to query it.
Otherwise, if some self-compiled version is to be installed, that will
depend on which features are to be compiled in: native TLS support,
image support (then: tiff, png, jpeg and so on), binary xml support
(libxml)... and many more.
To be able to answer your question, we'll have to know more. Start
with:
- which RedHat?
- which Emacs?
not very helpful, I know, but it's a start :-)

Hi All,
I've asked my system admin to install emacs 24.5 on my university's
computing farm which uses RHEL. He needs to know what the file dependencies
are for the emacs. I've looked around and I can't find a list. How do you
find a list of dependencies for emacs?
Thanks,
Dahvyd

I doubt this.

You use the package manager and it automatically finds and installs
any dependencies.

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.
