I had a similar problem. I think it happens when you try to upgrade to a recent 4.0-stable from a 4.0-release. In the end I fixed it by copying the binary of install from another computer that had a recent build on it. I'll email you one if you like. Then just replace your current install with this new one. It is really a problem with your install - you can check this by simply typing install -fschg which will produce the same error message. ANother way you could fix it is by going through all the Makefiles (and bsd.lib.mk) in your src tree deleting every occurence of -fschg. I started on this route, but it seemed to take a long time. Another approach would be to look through the obj tree and try and find the new copy of install that should be installed, but as much as I looked for it, I just couldn't find it. Perhaps the makefiles should be modified so that they always use the new install program in the obj tree rather than /usr/bin/install.
