Thanks George, creating the directory solved the problem. However now I get some other warnings I have listed below. Was I suppose to run those install-sh scripts after compiling to create those directories or log files. I did compile, make, then checkinstall. Checkinstall runs make install and creates a slackware package for me. I didn't see anything in the documentation besides that.
