My personal reading of the problem is that your system config for mailfilter is looking for the executable in /usr/bin and therefore path considerations may be immaterial. Though I fully agree that checkinstall is perhaps the easiest way of installing a package be it tgz, rpm or deb, the prob- lem will persist if your checkinstall does the rpm-isation in /usr/local/bin. I feel, the solution is either of these: 1] Change the compile options at the level of ./configure or the Makefile to run from /usr/bin rather than default. 2] Or leave things as they are, and create a symlink for this executable in /usr/bin HTH Bish -- : ####[ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]########################### Sub : Checkinstall LOST #208 If you install packages after local compilations, use the bash script "checkinstall", in place of 'make install'.It will make necessary entries into the package database for your distro for subsequent manipulation with pkgtool, rpm and dpkg.
