Checkinstall 1.2.9

Hi, I’m trying to install SDL 1.2.9 from sources on my Debian Sarge 3.1.
’./configure’ and compilation work fine, but when I launch
’checkinstall’ with root privileges it complains with the following
message.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

fixed!

A previous wx-windows 2.6.3 checkinstall has created a link “/usr/local/man
-> share/man” which I have moved to “/usr/local/man.orig”.
Now SDL 1.2.9 has been successfully installed on my system.

Thanks anyway.
