Best way is to download the source and build it yourself...

I myself download the source and build a SRPM

Code: Select all

cd source
configure
make srpm

Then I build the install package from the SRPM

Code: Select all

tmp=/tmp/build-using-a-long-build-path; rm -rf $tmp; mkdir $tmp
nice rpmbuild --define="_sourcedir $tmp" --define="_specdir $tmp" \
              --define="_rpmdir $tmp" --define="_builddir $tmp" \
              --nodeps --rebuild ~/store/IM/ImageMagick-*.src.rpm
ls -Fla $tmp/*/ImageMagick-[6p]*.i386.rpm
rm -f *.i386.rpm; cp $tmp/*/ImageMagick-[6p]*.i386.rpm .
rm -rf $tmp

now install that...

Code: Select all

sudo rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps ImageMagick-[6p]*.i386.rpm

Only the final step needs to be root!
