Segmentation Fault (11) ??? on Red Hat 7.3

Segmentation Fault (11) ??? on Red Hat 7.3

[Bobby Kurtz]

Hello,

I am having problems with emacs on my Red Hat 7.3 box(webserver).  I
have had this box installed in the current fashion since about
September.  I have been running the latest version of emacs on it
since then with no problems.  Last week I started getting Error
segmentation fault (11) when trying to run emacs.  This was no matter
what user I was logged in as.  I tried removing and then reinstalling
emacs using the lastest RPM last Friday. It worked after I did this. 
This morning I started to get the segmenation fault again.  I tried
removing emacs again, then when I try to reinstall emacs i get:

rpm -ivh emacs-21.2-2.i386.rpm
Preparing...               
########################################### [100%]
   1:emacs                  warning:
/etc/X11/applnk/Applications/emacs.desktop created as
/etc/X11/applnk/Applications/emacs.desktop.rpmnew
warning: /etc/skel/.emacs created as /etc/skel/.emacs.rpmnew
error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.elc;3e487d09: cpio: MD5
sum mismatch

Anyone know my best course of action for this?  I am scared to
manually remove the files the rpm started to create.

The line above would indicate that "bytecomp.elc" is corrupt.  Try to 
download emacs-21.2-2.i386.rpm again.  Prior to installing, run

rpm --checksig emacs-21.2-2.i386.rpm

to verify that the new package is installable.
