How are you supposed to use it? After ./configure and make instead of make install you are supposed to be able to do checkinstall. This will build and install the package as an rpm. I have not tried with the latest release but on my previous attempts I have been unable to get it to work. Even though it is now supposed to be included in checkinstall the process is unable to find makeinstall. If makeinstall is installed spreratly the process runs longer but then still errors out and you are back to having to use make install. Charles
