I normally try to run checkinstall to make an rpm rather than 'make install' - but this had a bug too, it just need a directory to be manually created.
I wrote a bugzilla about that problem time ago.
(What the heck is up with checkinstall having these issues lately?)
The devs do not want to repair it, they prefer us to create a spec file by hand, for which you need to be an expert, or worse, use the buildservice, for which you need to be an even better expert. For them it is easy, so they don't repair checkinstall. Impossible! My hack for the above is: - create each directory it wants, by hand, and rerun checkinstall. Maybe a hundred cycles. Boresome. - or install the previous rpm from the same package, which creates the directories. Then run checkinstall (without install), remove the previous rpm, install the new one. - or first run a make install, then a checkinstall. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
