Ah, OK, it does not work from the top-level directory because the
directory structure is too deep and it breaks in further recursion. We
probably need at least a configure option to disable the old plugin
stuff.
So, a few other possible straightforward (but crude) workarounds:
(a) Just tell make to ignore errors, i.e. run make -k install. You need
to pay attention if you are getting errors elsewhere because it will
simply ignore all.
(b) Edit the top-level Makefile.am and remove the python, perl, ruby and
plugins subdirectories from SUBDIRS.
I did not suggest this orginally because you need to run configure
with --enable-maintainer-mode and it will complain about missing
odd maintainer tools. But as long as you have the basics like
automake and libtool, it should be able to re-generate the
corresponding files in this case.
(c) Run the installation in a subset of directories manually like
for x in $SUBDIRS; do make -C $x install; done
replacing $SUBDIRS with the list I gave (without quotes).
