sudo checkinstall - installation failed

I'm trying to install ffmpeg on Raspbian by following these steps :

 cd ffmpeg
./configure --prefix=/usr
time make -j 8
cat RELEASE
sudo checkinstall

but when I do the sudo checkinstall step, it gave me an error :

pi@raspberrypi ~/ffmpeg $ sudo checkinstall -y

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.

Can anyone help me ? What can I do ? I'm not gonna lie, I'm a noob and I don't really know where to start, I tried 3-4 things but it didn't work.

Thanks !

I had the same error, I created the folder manually:

sudo mkdir /usr/share/ffmpeg than sudo checkinstall again.

actually your meant to add your version number when it asks which you can find by doing

cat RELEASE

and but before you must do make the directory

sudo mkdir /usr/share/ffmpeg
