I am trying to install Ruby-1.8.7p302 on a CentOS-5.5 server in preparation for a Rails-3 application deployment. I have downloaded the source from Rubyforge.org, unpacked it, and ran ./config and make. Everything built without error. I then ran checkinstall to create an rpm package. That too completed without error.
However, when I try to install the resulting package using:
yum localinstall /path/to/package --nogpgcheck I get this message: . . . Running Transaction Installing : ruby-1.8.7 1/1 Error unpacking rpm package ruby-1.8.7-p302-1.i386 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/make;4cf56119: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch
Failed: ruby-1.8.7.i386 0:p302-1
Does anyone here know how to work around this?

checkinstall is a third party solution and does not keep up too well

try a local install with rpm rather than yum; and add the --nomd5 option there. that said, if it is encountering a later compression (think: xz), you'll need to address the matter with a 'real' rebuild

Your RPM was built on a Fedora, RHEL 6, or other more recent OS with the updated version of RPM.
I'm afraid you'll have to recompile it to get it to work well: use 'rpm2cpio' to take apart the SRPM and get the files, then deposit them in a relevant "SOURCES" directory with the .spec file in your relevant SPECS directory, and try to rebuild RPM's with the .spec file.
I can get into more detail if you need it, but it's how I backported Torque 2.4.10 to RHEL 5 from the EPEL RHEL 6 repository two weeks ago.
