I can manually create that dir (remember that checkinstall runs as root, in my case via sudo), and the next run it goes a little further, and fails again with permission denied on another directory create.
I have two alternatives: create each directory manually, or run "make install" (as root), followed by "checkinstall". Have you tried to configure the document path in the config file?
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.
