I cannot seem to find a checkinstall rpm package for CentOS-6 or one for x86_64 more recent than CentOS4. When I try to build it locally from the most recent source I can find, c.2006, I get build errors having to do with size constants either missing or improperly defined.
Does anyone have a source for an rpm of this package that runs on CentOS-6_x86_64 or can recommend a replacement for it?

consider using fpm instead ? it kind of address's the same problem in a different way.

Although I'm not the OP I'm interested in that topic too. Unfortunately, due to heavy TLA overloading I couldn't make out which FPM you might be referring to. "yum search fpm" came up blank. http://www.google.com/search?q=fpm yielded "About 22,400,000 results" but nothing promising on the first three result pages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FPM wasn't helpful either. Do you have an URL perhaps?
Thanks, Tilman

I used >>linux "fpm" checkinstall<< for a google search. You have to filter your search results with few more related words.
This is all I found so far.

There is also a link to the main site in there as well. Not a lot on it.

having said that - *I* am not a big fan of using these kinds of tools, its still way better to get a spec file in place that you can hand edit and maintain. Fpm has its place, it will let you grab a build and make an rpm out of it - but it does nothing for maintainability and nothing for management. BUT its a mile better than a 'make install' or checkinstall ( in that it does use rpmbuild )
installing fpm is tricky, since it has no dependency checks - so its a case of install it, then workout what deps it needs as things fail. Maybe a slightly worthwhile effort would be to package fpm into a rpm with the right deps :)
