Craig,

I'm afraid I have no idea why this would be happening.  You might find you
can get around it by forcing use of the install-sh shipped with PROJ.

eg.
make INSTALL=`pwd`/install-sh install

Cruel.  I think Sun should give away nice fast new Suns.  The only one
I currently have access to for test builds must be nearly 10 years old,
and it is *really* slow.  A build of GDAL with libtool enabled (build
everything twice) takes over an hour.

And of course, ironically, these days "easy to use" in a Unix largely
comes down to "things work the same here as on Linux - the developer
reference platform".

Best regards,
