Anybody using checkinstall on Fedora Core 1? For some reason it won't work for me, just exits with an "Installation failed" error:
<quote error message>
$ sudo checkinstall -R


checkinstall 1.5.3, Copyright 2001 Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran
           This software is released under the GNU GPL.

Installing with "make install"...

========================= Installation results ===========================

Copying documentation directory...

**** Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

Restoring overwritten files from backup...OK

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.

It seemed to work OK for installing checkinstall itself, but when I try to install gnucash from CVS, it fails with the error above. A standard "make install" for gnucash works fine.
I've removed checkinstall with 'rpm -e checkinstall' and reinstalled it from scratch (untarring the tarball, executing 'make install' and then 'checkinstall') without change in behavior.


Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tim
