Installing checkinstall on x86_64 bit
- by SephMerah
I downloaded the source for check install.
checkinstall-1.6.2.tar.gz.
I then tar -xzvf checkinstall-1.6.2.tar.gz
Then I make.
It prints this error:
[root@ip-50-63-180-135 checkinstall-1.6.2]# make
for file in locale/checkinstall-*.po ; do \
case ${file} in \
locale/checkinstall-template.po) ;; \
*) \
out=`echo $file | sed -s 's/po/mo/'` ; \
msgfmt -o ${out} ${file} ; \
if [ $? != 0 ] ; then \
exit 1 ; \
fi ; \
;; \
esac ; \
done

I searched extensively on this issue and this solution looks promising. Should I attempt to install checkinstall as an fpm? What would be the best way to go about that?
Centos 6.3 x86_64
