If so, just make the "INSTALL" macro in the Makefile point to that instead of the (apparently totally broken) regular "install" program on AIX. Maybe it's called "gnuinstall". That said, the installation is really just a matter of copying, so you *could* just replace the uses of "install" with either "-mkdir" or "cp" depending on whether it's used to make sure a directory exists, or to actually copy the programs.
