"error: Failed dependencies" when installing

Post by fogcity »

I have downloaded the x86_64 version of ImageMagick, uploaded it to my x86_64 server, and am attempting to install using this command:

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-6.6.4-4.x86_64.rpm
Unfortunately, every time I try this I receive this error:

Code: Select all

error: Failed dependencies:
    ImageMagick = 6.6.3-10 is needed by (installed) ImageMagick-c++-6.6.3-10.x86_64
    ImageMagick = 6.6.3-10 is needed by (installed) ImageMagick-perl-6.6.3-10.x86_64
    ImageMagick = 6.6.3-10 is needed by (installed) ImageMagick-devel-6.6.3-10.x86_64
the (installed) part of the error suggests that imagemagick is already installed?
in any case, can you please advise what to do next?

looking at the docs, there was a suggestion to try this:

Code: Select all

rpmbuild --rebuild ImageMagick-6.6.4-4.x86_64.rpm
but that just gives me more errors:

Code: Select all

Installing ImageMagick-6.6.4-4.x86_64.rpm
error: source package expected, binary found
error: ImageMagick-6.6.4-4.x86_64.rpm cannot be installed
so im obviously getting further from the target.

help me obi wan, youre my only hope.
