I installed checkinstall 1.6.2 on CentOS 5.4 VM (VMWare Server on WinXP). After getting the dependencies installed it compiled with no errors. But when I run it in its own source directory, I keep getting an error that I can't track down. The message is:
install: cannot change ownership of '/usr/local/lib/installwatch.so': No such file or directory.
But not only does the file exist, it has the correct permissions and creation time. I am running this as root. I did change the permissions on both make and install to 0755, but that did not help. The command line is:
Is SELinux enabled? it sounds like the typical SELinux-related problem.
what does "getenforce" say?
check the output of "ls -lZ /usr/local/lib/ " to get the file's context
Hope this helps
