I was foloowing instructions:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo

and came to this:

sudo checkinstall

I run this command and at the end I get errors.

 /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/libexec/mc/extfs.d'
/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/libexec': No such file or directory
make[5]: *** [install-extfsDATA] Error 1

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.

So why cannot create directory? As firt I see?

fixed:

when run

sudo checkinstall --fstrans=0

it worked :)

So I can say I can compile linux programs already :P
