It looks to me like you don't have permission to execute
mkinstalldirs. Running:
chmod +x mkinstalldirs
from the directory where you typed "./configure" should do the trick,
but it seems really odd that it wouldn't untar with the proper
permissions. Maybe this is symptomatic of another problem.
I could be wrong though. Maybe mkinstalldirs is running. Generally,
you have to run "make install" as root, unless you've configured the
program to install in a directory that your regular account has write
permissions for (usually someplace in your home directory).
Try typing:
ls -l mkinstalldirs
If it looks something like this:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 luke users 731 Dec 12 1998 mkinstalldirs
^ ^ ^
with all those "x"s in the first part, then my first guess was wrong.
In that case, try running "make install" as root. (Which you'll
probably end up having to do anyway).
Good luck!
