Thanks for the advice.

I tried every which way using absolute paths and relative paths and
different directories and permissions.  I couldn't get it to work. It
always failed when trying to access the changelogs, and I verified
every time that the changelog files exist at the path where
checkinstall is looking.

I even commented out the changelogs in the cmake file, and it simply
errored on the next thing it went looking for.  It obviously is some
kind of path or permission error that I can't figure out.

At any rate, I went ahead and successfully did a
- make
- make install

and just gave up on making the .deb file.  3.7 is installed and works
fine.  I just like having the .debs so I can quickly install it on
other machines in my house.

Thanks,

Mike
