The problem is that when "make" runs the "configure" script before compilation, a bad value for INSTALL is chosen ("../" instead of "/usr/bin/install") and the result is failure. I should note that it is only subdirectories that have this problem (i.e, libmad below is a subdirectory), the top-level directory doesn't. If I run "./configure" by hand, the right value is chosen. Can anyone account for this discrepancy? Take a look at the configure output below. The first is when configure is run by hand, the the latter is from a "make install" in the port directory. (# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local i386--freebsd4.1.1) configuring in libmad running /bin/sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/local i386--freebsd4.1.1 --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=. loading cache .././config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install...
