This looks like an incompatability problem with the Makefile, the make shell,
and/or the install command. First - check your system documentation on "install"
and verify the proper syntax versus what is being used in the Makefile. Second,
check that you have one and only one "install" script/executable on your system,
or if more than one - check that "install" gets set properly in the Makefile for
the proper system "install" command. Third if BASH is being used in any of the
scripts, then they may not be compatible with whatever script/environment that
you are using during the "make install" (eg; I have seen a number of Bash-based
install scripts that go haywire in environments that don't match the apparent
development environment; not just because of differences between bash and sh,
but other system/environment differences that make their way into such scripts,
such as incorrect "install" command syntax).
