Is MacOS X filenames case-insensitive? If so, make could be checking the file INSTALL when invoking the 'install' target. You could try adding the following at the top of Makefile, .PHONY: install and rerun 'make install'. It would probably be worthwhile to have .PHONY defined within the nmh makefiles for all targets that are not associated with a specific file. --ewh
