Freshly installed rhel 5.3, I ran yum update and then ran yum install ImageMagick and get this:

Wondering if anyone is getting this message.

What version of ImageMagick are you trying to install?

The version of ImageMagick you are trying to install requires an older version of dbus than the version of dbus already on the system. It also looks like you are trying to install the 32bit version of ImageMagick rather than the 64bit version.

Sorry Im running rhel 64 bit but im only trying to install the one on the repo imagemagik 6.2

Trying upgrading dbus first, then install ImageMagick

I tried yum install dbus and got:

Transaction Check Error:
file /etc/dbus-1/system.conf from install of dbus-1.1.2-12.el5.i386 conflicts with file from package dbus-1.1.2-12.el5.x86_64

And again, you are trying to install the 32bit (the .i386 in the package name) version and not the 64 bit version.

The current version (in the repos) of imagmagick is 6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1.

When you want to update a package use yum update package not yum install package.

yum update dbus
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Skipping security plugin, no data
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update

Why is it trying to install a i386 package instead of a x64 package?

You told it to install dbus, since the 64bit version was already installed, it assumed the operator understood what he was doing and complied by attempting to install the 32bit version. As to why it tried to in the first place, best guess would be that you were trying to install the 32bit version of Imagemagick. Did you check to see if you already had the 64bit of imagemagick installed? A lot of packages have it as a dependency.

#rpm -qa | grep ImageMagick
#

So i dont think its installed.

Just to check:
rpm -qa | grep dbus
dbus-1.1.2-12.el5
dbus-glib-0.73-8.el5
dbus-python-0.70-7.el5
dbus-libs-1.1.2-12.el5

Try installing using the full name rather than just imagemagic.

ImageMagick-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1.x86_64

Well ill be darn worked like a charm i typed:

yum install ImageMagick-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1.x86_64

Problem Solved... Owe you a beer that for sure.


Why was it trying to install the 32bit version instead of the 64bit?
