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.
