Very sorry for my late reply. Pls let me know if > you need more info. Thanks for the feedback. Are you using the pristine 1.10.1 sources from the ftp.gnu.org website BTW, or some distribution package? It looks like a post-1.10.1 bugfix has been put in the test suite. [ log excerpt from instsh2.test ] > ./install-sh: d4//: Is a directory > + touch a b > + mkdir x y > mkdir: x: File exists > mkdir: y: File exists > *** /bin/mkdir failed! > FAIL: instsh2.test Wow, looks like your mkdir isn't able to handle whitespace in the argument. Can you show the output of file /bin/mkdir and if it's a script, the contents of /bin/mkdir? Alternatively, it could be that the shell omitted to output a trace for the ./install-sh 'a b' 'x y' command following the mkdir above. AFAICS install-sh is safe for names containing white space, so I cannot see why this failed for you. I've tried to reproduce the issue on a couple of FreeBSD hosts (XXX versions), but they pass the test. Thanks, Ralf
