Problem with installation scripts

[Alen Yokhanis]

Hi,

   install-sh script is failing with the following error message when
trying to install m4-1.4.4 on alphaev6-dec-osf4.0g:

==============
for subdir in doc lib src checks examples; do \
  echo making install in $subdir; \
  (cd $subdir && make CC='gcc' CFLAGS='-g -O2' LDFLAGS='' LIBS=''
prefix='/usr/local' exec_prefix='/usr/local' bindir='/usr/local/bin'
infodir='/usr/local/info' install) || exit 1; \
done
making install in doc
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/yok001/temp/packages/m4-1.4.4/doc'
./../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/info
cd . && for file in m4.info*; do \
  .././install-sh -c -m 644 $file /usr/local/info/$file; \
done
.././install-sh: -: not found
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/yok001/temp/packages/m4-1.4.4/doc'
make: *** [install] Error 1
===============

No problem installing version m4-1.4 since that older released got
configured to use '/usr/bin/installbsd' instead of the included script
'install-sh' which version m4-1.4.4 seems to prefer to use...


Regards,
Alen
