Re: problem compiling librep from git source

[Darth Emacs <darthemacs gmail com>]

running 'libtool --finish /usr/local/lib/rep' after the make install registers the path for debian. The fail with checkinstall seems to occur right before the first warning to use 'libtool --finish /usr/local/lib/rep'. So much for keeping it simple. Guess I'll have to go with complex. C'est la � vie.

Hmm... why don't you use the official packaging scripts? (dpkg-buildpackage

Dunno what's the issue with checkinstall.

Simple is better than complex.

Complex is better than complicated.

checkinstall serves the purpose

mostly, but it's known to fail with several packages. The issue is somewhere in checkinstall.
