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: checkinstall -R --install=no Any suggestions? Bob McConnell N2SPP
