In instances like these, I have used the -ivh -force and -nodeps and then
got the later rpm from the install cd and done an rpm -force on that rather
than a -uvh so that you get the earlier library files and the later library
files as well.
Does that explain it well. It is not an ideal situation, I would love to
have a rpm viewer/installer that allowed you to browse the rpm file (like
winzip does allow you to view inside zip files) and extract only the file
you need.
This may or may/not exist, I am not sure.

Subject: [SLUG] imagemagick install
just trying to install imagemagick (and perlmagick) on a RH6.2
system from the binaries at my local imagemagick mirror.
the imagemagick rpm wants bzip 1.0.0 - cool - but if i try:
# rpm -Uvh bzip2-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
i get:
error: failed dependencies:
libbz2.so.0 is needed by rpm-4.0.2-6x
rpm-4.0.2-6x appears to be the latest around.
is --force or --nodeps a realistic way to go?
i've not used either before and would appreciate some sound advice :)
thanks,
chris paul
