all depending packages are provided with your installation CD or DVD, or you can
download the packages from Opensuse:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/

in your case you probably need the packages:

- unixODBC-2.2.12-13.i586.rpm
- fftw3-3.1.2-19.i586.rpm 
- mysql-client-5.0.26-12.i586.rpm  

as Stephan said, the easiest way is to open YAST and search for the depending
packages.
