Aha, I've made progress, but to where I'm not sure.

As I said, it gave me the message, even with sudo bash, that configure
didn't like install-sh. Well, the location it lists is a symlink. It
points to

/usr/share/automake-1.10/install-sh

I have no automake directory, and no install-sh file inside it!

So what does that do?
