the "make install.data" (which installs the whole thing) usually works.
I usually do
        configure (with whatever options)
        make (so I can check the logs)
        make install
or
        make install.libs
        make install.progs
        make install.data
etc, depending on what parts I want to upgrade.

in the 4.0 version, there's an err in the install-rule in the test-directory
(which doesn't really affect successful installs), that's fixed in one of my
patches.  also, 4.0 doesn't do a make-install without first doing a make all.
afaik, if you've got all of the patches applied, there's no problems with the
install.

if this is complicated, there's an faq that says how to report  bugs
