title: Compiling Python with Checkinstall
body: <p>I am running checkinstall to compile Python on debian.</p>
  
  <p>I experienced a bunch of errors before this that would cause it to fail due to not being able to create a directory. At that point, I would just mkdir it myself and it would get past this point. But now I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.5/_elementtree.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so -&gt; /usr/local/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload
      error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
      Makefile:1458: recipe for target 'sharedinstall' failed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of anything I might be doing wrong with checkinstall?</p>
