2.4.6 is pretty old, 2.4.12 is current. It may help to try it.

During the configure step, configure checks for
an install program using the names:

ginstall scoinst install

if they don't work correctly, it should use "install_sh".

on Solaris, it should use "install_sh".

During configure I get a message like this:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c

You should do:

which ginstall
which scoinst
which install

to see what you have on the machine.

Then rerun configure and see if you can tell what is happening
when it looks for install.
