Hi Rob,

make install gives this output (relevant part):

Installing the development environment...
Compiling gambas...
OK
Compiling gambas-database-manager...
OK

checkinstall, on the other hand, gives this:

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.


Narrowing it down further, as you can see, with make install:

/opt/gambas/share/gambas/info/gb.vb.info
/opt/gambas/share/gambas/info/gb.info

while checkinstall does this:

/opt/gambas/share/gambas/info/gb.vb.info
/opt/gambas/lib/gambas/lib.gb.so: not found

Any ideas why it's different with checkinstall? 
Why /opt/gambas/lib/gambas/lib.gb.so 
after /opt/gambas/share/gambas/info/gb.vb.info instead 
of /opt/gambas/share/gambas/info/vb.info, as with make install?

Thanks,
