help installing limewire (w/ makepkg)

I have run into trouble. I *think* I am doing this right, and have all the files where there spose to be, but somethings not working. Here is the output from the cmd line:

[root@dfwal pkgbuild]# makepkg
==> Making package: limewire 4.12.3-1 (Sun Nov 12 14:02:46 CST 2006)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Checking Buildtime Dependencies...
==> Retrieving Sources...
==>     Found LimeWireLinux.rpm in build dir
==>     Found limewire in build dir
==> Validating source files with MD5sums
    LimeWireLinux.rpm ... FAILED
    limewire ... Passed
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
[root@dfwal pkgbuild]#
[root@dfwal pkgbuild]# dir
LimeWireLinux.rpm  PKGBUILD  limewire  src
[root@dfwal pkgbuild]# cd src
[root@dfwal src]# dir
LimeWireLinux.rpm  limewire
[root@dfwal src]#   

for now I just removed the md5sum line and continued w/ the install. Is this what I should of done, or am I going to run into problems?

probably not, the md5sum exists so you know you're getting the right file. If you downloaded that file yourself, then all's good.

Why are you building limewire? It's in the community repo. If you were building a different version, that would make sense, but you're not.

Re: help installing limewire (w/ makepkg)

The reason you get this error is that limewire use the same name for the rpm for each of its version. The PKGBUILD contains the md5sum for limewire 4.12.3 while the rpm you downloaded is for limewire 4.12.6

BTW, I'll update the community package sometime this week.
