linux rpm corrupt

[wildmage]

I tried installing the linux RPM on the CD and it gave me a checksum error. I also downloaded the ISO and mounted that locally, but that RPM has the same problem. Here is the error:

[root@localhost avrcam]# rpm -Uvh AVRcamVIEW-01.07-1.i586.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:AVRcamVIEW ########################################### [100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/AVRcamVIEW/bin/AVRcamVIEW.sh;4238acc9: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch
[root@localhost avrcam]#

Could you please post a fresh RPM on the website? Obviously the one on the ISO is corrupt.

Also, there are no instructions for building the source. How can I build the source?

Thanks,
Jacob

Hello,
I spoke with Brent (Bud) who put the ISO image together...it sounds like he is seeing the same thing you saw regarding the corrupt image. He will probably be posting here soon with more details, but a temporary solution would be to walk back to an earlier ISO image that I just added to the "past" download page:

I believe that version 01.02 of the ISO worked fine...Brent, can you confirm this?

It's possible that when I ftp'd the RPM from my Linux computer to my Windoze computer, the transfer was in ASCII and not Binary. I say this because the rpm that was built on my Linux computer works fine, but the ISO doesn't. I will have John post the new rpm to http://www.jrobot.net/Download.html soon.

To build the AVRcamVIEW you must have JDK 1.4.0 or better installed along with the ANT build tool (included on the AVRcam Software CD v1.03). Simply run the command: "ant -f build.linux.xml" and a JAR file will be created. To launch the application, run the command: "java -cp AVRcamVIEW.jar;jdom.jar avr.swing.JAVRCamFrame".

Ok...the latest Linux RPMs are available as a separate download at:
http://www.jrobot.net/Download.html
They were rebuilt and should work fine. Another ISO image will be released in a week or two, but for now, use these to install the AVRcamVIEW application under Linux.
