If you're using the package nuetral version you should know that it
makes broken Slackware packages because it doesn't use the correct tar
version (1.13). There's official Slackware packages in /extra on 9.1
and 10.0 for a Pat V patched checkinstall that's flawless at making
Slackware packages, but doesn't make debs or rpms.
