Hello,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to install ImageMagick using &quot;yum install ImageMagick&quot;, this appears to work fine, except it fails because:<br />
package ghostscript-8.64-9.3.el5.x<wbr />86_64 (which is newer than ghostscript-8.15.2-9.11.el<wbr />5.i386) is already installed<br />
<br />
Why is it failing because I have a newever version?<br />
<br />
I can't uninstall this version because I need this new version and not the old version, plus I remember is being extremely difficult to install so I don't want to remove it and have to go through that again.<br />
<br />
I know that ImageMagick runs with my version of ghostscript because I was running it before, I just removed ImageMagick and now I want to install it again.<br />
<br />
How can I force ImageMagick to install?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Yum Dependency Problem - Newer Version Already Installed

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
