To check if "sudo" is the problem, I "su -" to root and run the

Cheers,

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.
