A program is ordinarly installed from source using:
./configure
make
sudo make install
To install a package using checkinstall, use:
./configure
make
sudo checkinstall
I imagine that when you're not using checkinstall, you're calling
./configure
sudo make install
and that for checkinstall you're using
./configure
sudo checkinstall
These are wrong.
