error: (misc)

[Alex Ferguson]

install-sh does a fine line in unhelpful error messages: well, error
message singular, at any rate...

for i in hp2ps; do \
        /export/home/ferguson/ghc-3.00/build/install-sh -c  -g ghc-admin   -s $i 
/usr/local/bin; \
done
hp2ps:error reading file

This seems to be its catch-all for anything that goes wrong, making
diagnosis a tad tricky.  On one machine it was a full disk, another
one I'm still trying to puzzle out...

Cheers,
Alex.
