my OS
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)
i am Ruby developer
i want to install rmagick in my machine
it needs ImageMagick>=6.3.0
right now, yum repositories only have ImageMagick-6.2.8
but latest version of ImageMagick is 6.5.1.2
how to manually install ImageMagick-6.5.* with ImageMagick-devel -6.5.*

thanks

download the rpm's from their site and just install directly - "rpm -Uvh ImageMagick*"

Hi,

I think you want to install it from yum.

Download the needed rpms and copy it where you have put all other RPMs (say /var/ftp/pub/Server/) and run the below commands. Also, remove older version of roms.

Code:

createrepo -vg /var/ftp/pub/Server/repodata/comps-rhel5-server-core.xml /var/ftp/pub/Server/
yum clean all
yum clean metadata
yum -y install ImageMagic*

Hope this helps.

That's a real waste of time, just download and install as I said.
