Carlos you don't say what version of checkinstall your using

The one that comes with opensuse 11.0, obviously.

11.0.

Huh? The version of 11.0 is 11.0. what do you mean?

I used checkinstall about two weeks ago to create a version of kdat.
I'm on checkinstall-1.6.1-72.1, and 11.0. (2.6.25.16-0.1-pae). [32-bit].

Same. But what has the kernel version got to do?


sequence I used was:

as user:

tar -xzvf package name
./configure
make

as root (I used su, I have never got sudo to work)

checkinstall -R --install=yes

- -R is not needed (config file), and I don't use "install".


in my case the rpm then showed up in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386

I then used YaSt to install it

Sorry I cannot help more.

Weird.
