Just as I was about to go to town on this sylpheed tarball, I read Eric's post on 'make install' - then Derek's page on checkinstall. Decided that was a good idea 9building an RPM from a tarball) so I did urpmi checkinstall - it reported two dependencies, I said yes and it failed saying some files were missing and that I might want to update my urpmi database. So I said 'urpmi.update local' tried urpmi checkinstall again and get the same message. I must be missing something here - besides the files, which are:
/var/cache/urpmi/rpms/libcheckinstall1-1.5.3-1mdk.noarch.rpm /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/checkinstall-1.5.3-1mdk.noarch.rpm Where do I go from here? thanks Curt
