Checkinstall doesn't usually cause the installed program to be runnable by root only - there must be something unusual about your app. John -- John Pettigrew Headstrong Games john@headstrong-games.co.uk Fun : Strategy : Price http://www.headstrong-games.co.uk/ Board games that won't break the bank Knossos: escape the ever-changing labyrinth before the Minotaur catches you!

My guess here John, is that Joe compiled the whole thing as root rather than ./configure & make as user then the checkinstall as root. Lee -- --- KMail v1.5.4 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

checkinstall runs 'make install' internally, but it uses a method to take note of every file that gets installed - I haven't bothered to learn how exactly - and then makes an rpm with those files. So, if the permissions seem weird, they are the same permissions 'make install' used. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
