'can not find install-sh' when running configure

'can not find install-sh' when running configure

[Alec Clews]

I have downloaded the make source and I'm trying to build it. When I
run the ./configure script I get the message 'can not find install-sh'.
Do I need to install something else?

Thanks

that reminds me -- I meant to mention this the other day when I built 
make.  A few of the autotools files are missing from make's -src package 
on sourceware.  Until the maintainer fixes & makes a new release, just copy:

  install-sh
  config.sub
  config.guess

from /usr/share/automake/ (assuming you have the automake package 
installed).

The make sources that I distribute are meant to be dropped into a
standard "cygnus tree".  That's the way I build it.  That means that
these tools are in the top level of my build tree.

So, if you don't want to build things that way, Chuck's method is the
way to go.
