k, checkinstall just puts everything into one package and it seems they get stripped. You can either replace ./autogen.sh and all that follows with the dpkg-buildpackage line, or use "make install DESTDIR=/home/<user>/<some-dir> to install everything into that dir and run it from there. The Fehlersuchsymbole is a bad translation for dbgsym, but if you install a package from there, it will depends on their version and is useless for you.
