    ImageMagick new ver install

    Hello, i have installed imagemagick via WHM, it installed version 4.*** but i need version 5.2.** to get a script working.

    I tried to un-install imagemagick version 4.** with rpm -e but it says it can't find it, but rpm -qi says it is installed.

    WHM may have installed it from src.rpm would i have to specify .src.rpm to un-install?


    I DL the correct 5.*** version for RH 6.2, i needed to install truetype and bzip2 to get it working. Truetype went ok but i get errors with bzip2.

    why do i need bzip2, well i get this error when trying to install new version 5 of imagemagick:
    root@yorik [/tmp/install]# rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-5.4.5-1.i386.rpm
    error: failed dependencies:
    libbz2.so.1 is needed by ImageMagick-5.4.5-1



    I tried to install new version bzip2-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm downloaded from ImageMagick ftp mirror, this file was in same dir as Imagemagick ver 5.*** so assume it to be correct one, but following errors

    root@yorik [/tmp/install]# rpm -Uvh bzip2-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
    error: failed dependencies:
    libbz2.so.0 is needed by passwd-0.64.1-1

    libbz2.so.0 is needed by ImageMagick-4.2.9-3



    rpm -qi bzip reports
    Name : bzip2 Relocations: /usr

    would building imagemagick/bzip2 from source cure bzip2 problems?

    Do everything from source. Much easier. RPMs just cause more trouble with the dependency system they got.
