Re: help needed with installation, fedora core 4

[David Perkinson]

I went to the ImageMagick homepage, retrieved the latest rpm, and installed

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php
version 6.2.5-2

That fixed one dependency problem. 

I then did

> sudo rpmbuild --rebuild 
ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/fedora/development/SRPMS/gimp-print-4.2.7-12.src.rpm

which compiled successfully, then

> sudo rpm -U /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/gimp-print*

which was also successful.

However, I still have the following problem:

> sudo rpm -U /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ghostscript-*
error: Failed dependencies:
       libijs.so is needed by (installed) gimp-print-4.2.7-12.i386

If I ask yum to remove gimp-print, it also wants to remove gimp, which I 
am reluctant to do.
I would suppose that most people running Fedora Core 4 would have the 
same trouble since I have all the latest updates to the distribution.

Thanks for your help,
David
