I tried building git 1.6.1 on AIX 5.3 as an "out of tree" build and it does not seem to be set up to do out of tree builds. If that is not true, please let me know.

The install process wants to call install with a -d option. AIX has two install programs but they are pretty old -- neither takes a -d option.

Is there a GNU install program I can get? I've not been able to locate one.

The curious thing is I installed git 1.5.6.4 on a similar AIX system a few months ago and succeeded.

Last -- just so I know for future reference, is this list a 'text only email' list?

Thank you for your help, Perry Ease Software, Inc. ( http://www.easesoftware.com )
