Thanks for the reply.
I went to the checkinstall website and read up on it and it seemed to be my answer.
I loaded checkinstall, and ran it inside my icewm-1.2.19 src directory, but it complained about not being able to find a SOURCES directory.
I googled and found that my SOURCES error was because I did not have rpm-build package installed.
When I try to install rpm-build I get all kind of conflict errors as follows:
downloads # rpm -ifvh rpm-build-4.3.1-1.fc2.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /usr/lib/rpm/rpmb from install of rpm-build-4.3.1-1.fc2 conflicts with file from package rpm-4.3.2-1
file /usr/share/man/man8/rpmbuild.8.gz from install of rpm-build-4.3.1-1.fc2 conflicts with file from package rpm-4.3.2-1
file /usr/share/man/man8/rpmdeps.8.gz from install of rpm-build-4.3.1-1.fc2 conflicts with file from package rpm-4.3.2-1
I don't want to play the rpm dependencies game, which is why I left rpm distro's for a while and went to Gentoo, so I am going to remove icewm-1.2.19 and load the yoper repository package 1.2.16 and see if that helps.
