Greetings all,
I am trying to build a rpm package from tar using checkinstall,
and not succeeding.
The packages I want to build are giFT-FastTrack-0.8.7.tar.gz,
gift-openft-0.2.1.3.tar.gz, and gift-gnutella-0.0.9.2.tar.gz.
I am getting the same errors when I attempt each, so I assume
I have something amiss.
The error for one is as follows:

Can anyone help me understand what I am missing or doing
incorrectly? I think I am using the same method as I used
under Mdk9.2 which yielded good results.
./configure and make go smoothly w/o errors.
TIA for any feedback on this folks.
Best regards.
