How to get md5sum to your Mac (Leopard)

Today I needed md5sum info for my buildout setup which downloads external archives but I realized there isn't any "md5sum" binary to use on my mac.

Here is how to install it in a moment using terminal:

$: cd /tmp
$: wget http://www.microbrew.org/tools/md5sha1sum/md5sha1sum-0.9.5.tar.gz
$: tar xvzf md5sha1sum-0.9.5.tar.gz
$: cd ./md5sha1sum-0.9.5
$: ./configure
$: make

Note: I didn't need to call "make install" even use "suco" command. The "make" command already installed binaries to "/usr/local/bin".

You can check MD5sum/SHA1sum/RIPEMD160sum website for latest releases and replace version number "0.9.5" in used in my commands to use the latest version.
