# This is an appearant bug in the src/Makefile.in. In the configure script it
# does:
#
# checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh -c
#
# so, then it should use "./install-sh -c" and not just 'install'...

# The attached patch corrects the src/Makefile.in and should correct the
# problem for that particular makefile. The similar correction should be done
# in the other Makefile.ins too.

It appears the options supplied are causing it problems as well.
