A make install will not modify the RPM database. You must install an RPM, ideally the cabextract package that "provides" the necessary requirement. (The requirement could also be faked via a custom package build, which is not ideal but can work sometimes.) Setting up yum or similar may help chase RPM dependencies automatically, instead of downloading and installing individual packages manually.
