Andrewski Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I'm getting this error after trying to install some packages using checkinstall. Can anyone offer some insight? root:easytag-0.30.2$ checkinstall make install checkinstall 1.6.0beta2, Copyright 2002 Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran This software is released under the GNU GPL. Installing with "make install"... ========================= Installation results =========================== Copying documentation directory... cp: preserving times for `/usr/share/doc/easytag-0.30.2/./TODO': No such file or directory cp: preserving times for `/usr/share/doc/easytag-0.30.2/./README': No such file or directory cp: preserving times for `/usr/share/doc/easytag-0.30.2/./THANKS': No such file or directory cp: preserving times for `/usr/share/doc/easytag-0.30.2/./INSTALL': No such file or directory cp: preserving times for `/usr/share/doc/easytag-0.30.2/./ABOUT-NLS': No such file or directory cp: preserving times for `/usr/share/doc/easytag-0.30.2/./ChangeLog': No such file or directory cp: preserving times for `/usr/share/doc/easytag-0.30.2/./COPYING': No such file or directory cp: preserving times for `/usr/share/doc/easytag-0.30.2/.': No such file or directory **** Installation failed. Aborting package creation. Cleaning up...OK Bye. As you can see, I have the latest checkinstall installed. I think I may be missing some other package, but I can't figure out which. cp and "No such file or directory" are less than specific problems. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted April 6, 2004 Author Share Posted April 6, 2004 I couldn't find anything on this, and the number of programs I'd like to install is growing. Could someone help me out on this? I have checkinstall installed, as well as all the pertinent RPMs of which I could think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Does this happen for all attempts to use check install or just this one? If just this one, what happens when you attempt to install the software without checkinstall? Process of elimination ;) If this occurs for all checkinstall activities, first try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it to see if it corrects the problem..

Andrewski Posted April 6, 2004 Author Share Posted April 6, 2004 It happens with all instances. I tried installing without documentation (since that seems to be the direct problem) and then, it just fails later on in the process. I'll post results when I'm at home from that method as well as from reinstalling it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted April 6, 2004 Author Share Posted April 6, 2004 OK, un/reinstalled. Now I'm getting a different error when running make. I don't think this is specifically checkinstall's fault, but I don't think I messed with any of my dev rpms so I'm not sure what it could be. andrew:grip-3.1.8$ make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/andrew/grip-3.1.8' Making all in po /bin/sh: line 1: cd: po: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/andrew/grip-3.1.8' make: *** [all] Error 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Did you su to obtain root privileges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 The way I heard it, I configured and made as regular user and only su'ed for make install. Has that changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghil Vertefeuille Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) it hasn't changed (and if yes, I didn't know) , but you should try it entirely as su, just to be sure... Edited April 7, 2004 by Ghil Vertefeuille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 Yeah, I thought to as soon as I posted. As su, I get the same error. I think I must be missing a package or something; which are necessary for 'make' to run smoothly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghil Vertefeuille Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 maybe...does it say anything like missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 All it says is what I posted above: andrew:grip-3.1.8$ make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/andrew/grip-3.1.8' Making all in po /bin/sh: line 1: cd: po: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/andrew/grip-3.1.8' make: *** [all] Error 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 Could someone please post their list of development RPMs to see if I've missed something? This is baffling me, and I'd rather not have to reformat again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 OK, fresh install of 10.0CE (with updates even) and I'm still getting the checkinstall error. Could this be a Mandrake bug? Checkinstall bug? Something, anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Something, anything? Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If not, could someone please post the pertinent packages they have installed? I feel like I must be missing something... on some level.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashdamage Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Andrewski...try this: Go into: /usr/lib/rpm/macros and change BOTH occurences of %_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 1 to: %_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0 See if that does the trick for checkinstall.
