I would guess you're probably not doing this on a current system, where
the install program recognizes the -d option as (from the man page):
-d Create directories. Missing parent directories are created as
required.
If it were me, I'd manually edit the Makefile to remove the -d option,
create the directory manually (or have the Makefile do it with mkdir -p)
and run install again.
