My guess is that you mistakenly picked up version 7.1 for which the
INSTALL files are in the predigested tar files. As the README file for
the distribution states, version 7.1 is only available for a few
machine/os combinations. Version 7.0 is generic enough to support many
more combinations. There is a README file in the top level directory
of that distribution (i.e. dist-7.0/README) which will lead you to the
INSTALL files.
