Hi,

although I installed several packages into my fedora 11 , I stand confused in installing this software

http://amide.sourceforge.net/installation_linux.html

will need your help (in newbie terms) in installing it

thanks all

You should be fine to follow the "Building from Source RPMs" instructions, you'll need to set up your machine for rpm building first though:

.. there will be a few dependencies added.

Then as a normal user (please do NOT build rpm's as root):

Fedora 11 , issue : the AMIDE Dicom viewer.

Is your Fedora 11 x86 or x86_64 ? ?

....

Building amide on Fedora 11 fails.
The source is too tightly created for Fedora 7 files.

A couple of rebuilt src.rpm packages, fc7
( GConf2, gnome-vfs2 ) made it possible to create
amide-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm on the Fedora 6 based
Scientific Linux SL 53 ( = Redhat EL 5 ).
Amide displays perfect on Fedora 11 ...

If you can use i386, then click my name, send an
email and get a copy.

@ kbp , @ prs700 :
I prefer this method for setting up the rpm build environment
in /home/'user' :

.....

@ prs700 : Seems you will need these three packages too :
1) ... dcmtk-3.5.4-1 ...
(( http://sourceforge.net/projects/amid...c.rpm/download ))
EDIT : The package is missing from sourceforge ?
( I still have it. .. And also: The special files,
spec + patch, are attached.
( A similar faulty src.rpm exists too, at rpmfind,
same name, same version ! )) > > dcmtk-3.5.4-1.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh dcmtk-3.5.4-1.src.rpm

# yum install libfame-devel gsl-devel openssl-devel rpm-build

cd rpms/SPECS/
rpmbuild -bb dcmtk.spec
1a)
# rpm -Uvh dcmtk-3.5.4-1.i586.rpm
.. the package is in rpms/RPMS/i586/

2)
http://xmedcon.sourceforge.net/Main/Download
xmedcon-0.10.5-1.i386.rpm
3)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/amid...6.rpm/download
> volpack-1.0c4-1.i386.rpm

thanks,
I received your email,

if this works it will be the first time I bring DICOM to my linux

Having issues with dcmtk-3.5.4-1.src.rpm it refuses to install, I guess this is the only thing that is prevenitng from working

cheers

I recently built dcmtk on CentOS 5.3 ... didn't have any problems. Can you post the rpmbuild output ?

'dcmtk' :
No problems on Fedora 11. ( Or SL53 = CentOS 5.3 ).
You could miss out a package ?
The spec file says :
Requires: openssl-devel libtiff-devel libpng-devel
But it can be something else, I have
a lot of -devel packages installed.

I will pass the dcmtk-3.5.4-1fc11.i586.rpm by ' gmail '.
And may be the dcmtk-3.5.4-1sl53.i386.rpm later.
Who knows, which works best.
Did not test any files in amide. Can you provide a link
to a good test study for amide ?
.....

A lot of src.rpm packages cannot be installed with
rpm -Uvh <package> . I guess the rpm versions are
incompatible, changed style in April this year.

Most src.rpms can just be unpacked with rpm2cpio :
1) Move the package to /home/'user'/rpms/SOURCES/
2) cd /home/'user'/rpms/SOURCES/
3) rpm2cpio <package.src.rpm> | cpio -idmv
4) mv 'name'.spec ../SPECS/
cd ../SPECS/
rpmbuild -bb 'name'.spec
.....

Thanks everybody,
I noticed that ubuntu has DICOM software in its installer,
