You don't need any options listed in the -h list. Ordinarily you would ./configure [options] make make install to install a tarball and to use checkinstall you just replace "make install" with "checkinstall". That will build an rpm package that you either install with rpm -Uvh /complete/path/to/RPM-PACKAGE or with Yast. When you use Yast you have to add the /complete/path/to/RPM-PACKAGE to the Yast sources. Alternatively you could click in Konqueror on the file, because that fires up Yast, with the path already added IIRC.
