You really need to use a newer version of GNU/Linux.  Red Hat Linux
7.3 is _very_ old indeed.

You can't install that package on Red Hat Linux 7.3.  As you see, it
needs lots of other packages to be installed or updated, and if you do
that your Linux will stop booting.

It's possible to do what you want but it's difficult.  It really would
be much easier to install a newer Linux distribution.  Any of the
popular ones would be fine.
