Summary: Builds, but broken with checkinstall

Initial Comment:
CentOS 4.4 x86-64, using RedHat KDE update to 3.5.4. I
could not find any source RPMs for Bibletime, so I
built from source. No problems at all, but when I
attempted to produce an RPM using checkinstall, I got
an error during the final packaging phase:

------------
mkdir -p /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/bibletime/handbook/;
chmod -R a+r+X  /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/bibletime;
chmod: `/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/bibletime': No such file
or directory
make[4]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1
------------

Now, I checked, and the directory does exist. Further,
calling that same command from the CLI

   chmod -R a+r+X  /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/bibletime

works fine and returns with no error. So why in the
world would the script get a complaint back from chmod?
If I run "make install" without using checkinstall, it
works just fine. Is this something peculiar to
checkinstall or a more general problem with 64-bit?

Hi Ed. We've had this problem before, someone else with 
checkinstall -- no idea about the cause. I don't believe it 
is a particular bibletime problem, therefore I am closing 
this bug report. If you can find out the reason, please, 
tell us about it. Sorry! -- mg
