You should have the md5sum program on your hard drive: it comes with most
if not all Linux distributions. That is why I did not mention where you could
get it.
It is rather interesting that you made the comments you did about RPM
based installations. I have had the exact opposite problem. I have had very
few programs intall properly using the configure/make/make-install from
sources. I have had no problem with using RPM. To each his own I guess.
