I'm sure I must have changed something to cause the "install-sh" [[...]]
Yep. I activated a Makefile in the config directory because I had stuff in there I wanted to be able to distribute. I figured to use it basically for "EXTRA_DIST". No errors, except for this incomprehensible thing. I have another issue with the libtool script not getting built. The solution to that one was to manually move the "config.guess", "config.sub" and "ltmain.sh" scripts into the config directory. Surely, that is not the desired method. chmod -R a-w autogen-5.4.1; chmod a+w autogen-5.4.1 mkdir autogen-5.4.1/=build mkdir autogen-5.4.1/=inst chmod a-w autogen-5.4.1 dc_install_base=`CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd autogen-5.4.1/=inst && pwd` \ && cd autogen-5.4.1/=build \ && ../configure --srcdir=.. --prefix=$dc_install_base \ \ && make \ && make dvi \ && make check \ && make install \ && make installcheck \ && make uninstall \ && (test `find $dc_install_base -type f -print | wc -l` -le 1 \ || { echo "ERROR: files left after uninstall:" ; \ find $dc_install_base -type f -print ; \ exit 1; } >&2 ) \ && make dist-gzip \ && rm -f autogen-5.4.1.tar.gz \ && make distcleancheck configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in config ../config make: *** [distcheck] Error 1 $ find ag -name 'install*' ag/config/install-sh ag/snprintfv/config/install-sh ag/autogen-5.4.1/=build/snprintfv/config/install-sh ag/autogen-5.4.1/snprintfv/config/install-sh
