Well, this looks like my fault again :-(

The SGI "make" appears not to like the line:

	cp ps.devices/* $(GISBASE)/etc/paint/ps.devices 2>/dev/null ; true

This was a "tar" command, but I changed it to "cp" so that it failed
to copy the "CVS" directory (which was causing "ps.select" to list
"CVS" as an option).

I'm not familiar with SGI's make, so I'm not sure what it is about
that line that it doesn't like.

The previous version was:

	(cd ps.devices ; tar -cvf - * | (cd $(GISBASE)/etc/paint/ps.devices ; tar xvf - 2>/dev/null ); true )

Does enclosing the line in parentheses help?
