With some valuable assistance from this list I succeeded in compiling my first package from a tarball. Feeling smug I decided to try another using checkinstall. I get to the stage where checkinstall says "The package will be built according to these values" and lists 10 values, I press enter to accept them and then receive the following message "NOT-FOUND has no SOURCES directory, Please write the path to the RPM source directory tree" I have tried entering every path I can think of but I always get a repititioon of the above message but with NOT-FOUND replaced by the path I have just entered. I end up having to Ctrl-C to get out of the loop. Obviously I am too dim to understand what is meant by the SOURCE directory, can anyone help me please?
