checkinstall problem

ingerul · 10-31-2004, 02:33 PM

I'm trying to create a rpm package for opendchub, because I want to install it on a system that doesn't have everything it needs to compile a program from sources. So I tried checkinstall, but I always get this error:

Code:

========================= Installation results ===========================

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/radu/temp/opendchub-0.7.14/src'

make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
 
****  Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

I figured it out that the error is generated by installwatchm, which is a component of checkinstall. When I try to run installwatch I get the following error:

Code:

[root@kenjiru opendchub-0.7.14]# installwatch make install

make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

So it's a similar error... Any idea how can I get it working?

what errors ya get when ya do a make -n install check perms of the dirs in question /usr/local/

As you can see I'm running checkinstall as root, doesn't that mean I have all the permissions on directories I'm trying to install to??

PS: I can hardly understand what you are saying, please try to use a more comprehensible language, otherwise I can't follow you advice, thx.

So, here is the otput for the "checkinstall make -n install"

Code:
