sudo bash - good idea! But nope. Got the same error.

configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in config "."/
config

"Configure" doesn't like the install-sh file. Why not? It has wide-
open permissions assigned, everybody can write and execute. I don't
get it. I'll try dropping a space in it, in case its choking on the
zer0-byte bit.
