What document path? The checkinstall configuration is the same as it has been for years, not changed. The program I'm compiling, same thing, it compiled correctly in 10.3. And the paths the rpm contains are correct. Notice that the error is: /bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib': No such file or directory but the `/usr/local/share/doc/' exists, and the previous command had to create the "xine-lib" and failed: test -z "/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib/hackersguide" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib/hackersguide" /bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib': No such file or directory If I run that command manually, it works: nimrodel:~ # test -z "/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib/hackersguide" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib/hackersguersguide" nimrodel:~ # l /usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib/hackersguersguide total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Oct 2 01:20 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 88 Oct 2 01:20 ../ why does it fail when checkinstall runs it? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

What document path?
In /etc/checkinstallrc, i.e. DOC_DIR. I have mine set to /usr/share/doc/packages, though I haven't used checkinstall in a few years.

Since I am still using 10.3 here, and it worked last time I tried, perhaps it is a bug in the 11.0 package. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It is currently empty. In 10.3 it worked, it is actually the same file (system upgrade). I'll try setting that variable. Ok, I run checkinstall on a nother package (gxine). Works. Then I remove the old rpm that was still installed. Now checkinstall fails. I set the DOC_DIR variable. Checkinstall fails in the same place... it is not that.

That's what I fear. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Carlos you don't say what version of checkinstall your using or version of 11.0. I used checkinstall about two weeks ago to create a version of kdat. I'm on checkinstall-1.6.1-72.1, and 11.0. (2.6.25.16-0.1-pae). [32-bit]. sequence I used was: as user: tar -xzvf package name ./configure make as root (I used su, I have never got sudo to work) checkinstall -R --install=yes in my case the rpm then showed up in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386 I then used YaSt to install it Sorry I cannot help more. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 openSUSE 11.0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The one that comes with opensuse 11.0, obviously.
or version of 11.0.
Huh? The version of 11.0 is 11.0. what do you mean?

Same. But what has the kernel version got to do?
sequence I used was:
as user:
tar -xzvf package name ./configure make
as root (I used su, I have never got sudo to work)
checkinstall -R --install=yes
- -R is not needed (config file), and I don't use "install".
in my case the rpm then showed up in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386
I then used YaSt to install it
Sorry I cannot help more.

Yes, that's what I'm doing. Almost. If checkinstall fails, I run "make install", then "checkinstall". If I do the clean then checkinstall fails again. Another method: install an rpm from the previous run, then run checkinstall, uninstall previous rpm, install new one. Another one, way more tedious but cleaner: create each path checkinstall complains about by hand. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
