[geos-devel] Compiling troubles

[Meek, Allan (Contractor)]

And there it is! Thanks for the help, Paul and Mateusz. I got rid of the
INSTALL variable, logged out, logged back in, and did a compile from
scratch. Everything looks good now.

Ah, so simple it bonks one over the nose, once you see it:

You over-rode the INSTALL environment variable, which has *whoops*  
special meaning within the context of a "make install" operation...  
it is the program to use to install the files!  Unsetenv INSTALL and  
use something a little less generic.
