I am new here, so perhaps this is a simple thing. But, not having any luck installing IM from the binary distribution (see viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17340), I decided to build it from the source RPM. I followed the instructions at: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/api/#building and then downloaded ImageMagick-6.6.5-4.src.rpm. Then as root I executed: nice rpmbuild --nodeps --rebuild ImageMagick-6.6.5-4.src.rpm. This resulted in the following errors:
Installing ImageMagick-6.6.5-4.src.rpm
warning: user cristy does not exist - using root
warning: group cristy does not exist - using root
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ImageMagick-6.6.5-4.tar.bz2;4cc72742: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch
error: ImageMagick-6.6.5-4.src.rpm cannot be installed
I downloaded a number of the source rpms and got similar results. This suggests that either I am doing something wrong (the more likely explanation) or the source rpms haven't been properly digested for a while.
Is there someone who would help out?
