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?
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.
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.
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
