>Summary: "make install" fails sol2.6

Initial Comment:
(The summary field is TOO SMALL)
Under solaris 2.6, did
CC=cc ./configure --prefix=/sw/pkg/python-2.2.1
gmake
gmake install

resulting in:

[..]
Creating directory /sw/pkg/python-2.2.1/lib/python2.2
Arg count
Usage: install [-c] [-s] [-o own] [-g grp] [-m mode]
src dst
Or:    install [-o own] [-g grp] [-m mode] -d dir
option c : copy (obsolete)
option s : try to strip dst
option o : (possibly numeric) owner ident
option g : (possibly numeric) group ident
option m : mode (in octal eg 755 )
src : must be readable file
dst : file or directory
gmake: *** [libinstall] Error 255

No, this version of install is not going to create
directories.

This install is a local version (written in Perl but with no
trace of the author ;)
Maybe the test for 'install' in configure should test this
directory capability. Overriding the choice of install in
the Makefile fixed things.

Can you tell which install binary is being invoked?
