1. I ran CheckInstall and everything seems to run fine, but when I check my
new package I only find the documentation files!
CheckInstall can't trace (yet) the actions of three kind of binaries:
* SUID programs
* SGID programs
* Statically linked binaries
You may now go to check the binaries you're using in the installation
process ;-).
2. I built my Linux system from scratch (LFS, anyone?) and nothing gets
included in the packages I create with CheckInstall!
Most likely you installed GNU make from source, which by default installs
the make binary with SUID and/or SGID permissions. A quick fix:
chmod 0755 `which make`
Which means to remove the SUID and SGID bits from the make binary.
Please refer to the first question in this FAQ for the details.
3. I use Slackware Linux 8.0 and the symbolic links created by my
installation do not get into the package!
The ln binary shipped with Slackware 8.0 is statically linked. Replace it
with a dynamically linked one.
The one shipped with Slackware 7.1 works just fine. You can download it
here: http://checkinstall.izto.org/ln.gz
Please refer to the first question in this FAQ for the details.
4. I used CheckInstall to install the latest XFree86 distribution, but the
drivers are being corrupted! If I install XFree86 without CheckInstall
everything runs fine. Is this some evil bug?
It's not a bug. It's your driver's files being stripped by the automatic
ELF stripping process. Run checkinstall with the "--strip=no" command
line option.
5. I use a RPM based distribution and CheckInstall says it built the rpm
package OK but reports an error when installing the .rpm file:
Building RPM package...OK
Installing RPM package... FAILED!
And in the install.log file I find something like this:
error: open of /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i386/package-1.0-1.i386.rpm failed no
such file or directory
What's wrong?
There's something wrong with your RPM installation. Check your system and
see if the "rpm-build" and "spec-helper" packages are installed. Also
verify that their versions match the version of the rpm binary installed
in your system.
