checkinstall & php
 
Does anyone know why checkinstall is unable to make a proper package of php?

Code:
$ cat /var/log/packages/php-4.3.11-i386-1
PACKAGE NAME:    php-4.3.11-i386-1
COMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE:    0 K
UNCOMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE:    10 K
PACKAGE LOCATION: ./php-4.3.11-i386-1.tgz
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
php: PHP Hypertext Preprocessor
FILE LIST:
./
install/
install/doinst.sh
install/slack-desc
The files get to where they need to be and php works but the files are not listed in the package and an uninstall would surely not work.

Do other compilations work?
I had this problem in the past and found out that I had multiple copies of checkinstall and installwatch on my system.
Uninstalling the whole bunch and reinstalling a fresh copy did the trick for me.

Checkinstall works fine for other packages. It just doesn't work properly for php. It seems that the files actually get installed instead of being placed in the package and then installed when the package gets installed.

checkinstall is probably not infallible.

If I were you, I'd grab the official SlackBuild script for php-4.3.10 and modify it (slightly) to work with the 4.3.11 sources.
