Hi,

I haven't made rpm package from source a looong time ;)

The procedure used to be very simple:

./configure
make
checkinstall make install

Now I see there in no checkinstall in Fedora. What is the way to
simple make a rpm packet?

You made my day!! I´ve been using Linux for the last 9 yrs and I wasnt aware
of checkinstall.
I always used the very cumbersome (manual) process outlined in this outdated
article...
