WIth all the things have been installing of late, I have taken an interest in CheckInstall. Is there anyone on the list using it that has good things to say about it running on SuSE 7.3 or has general comments about it?
Yes, I use checkinstall for all programs I compile from source. I've used it successfully on 7.3 and 8.0 for rpms (also on Red Hat for rpms and Slackware for tgzs). It closes a huge gap in the various package management systems which don't account for compiled source packages and maintains the integrity of your package system database. It's worked every time for me. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Got spam? Get spastic http://spastic.sourceforge.net
