I'm trying to install bison v1.19 on an RS/6000 running AIX 3.2. When the makefile
tries gets to the install command, the following is output:

        /usr/bin/install -c bison /usr/local/bin/bison
cp: bison/bison: A parameter must be a directory.
        cd /usr/local/lib; rm -f bison.simple bison.hairy
/usr/local/lib: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
make: 1254-005 Ignored error code 1 from last command.
        rm tmp-simple

        sed -e "/^#line/ s|bison|/usr/local/lib/bison|" < ./bison.simple >
tmp-simple
        /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./tmp-simple /usr/local/lib/bison.simple
cp: 644: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
        rm tmp-simple
        /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./bison.hairy /usr/local/lib/bison.hairy
cp: 644: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
        chmod a+r /usr/local/lib/bison.simple /usr/local/lib/bison.hairy

        for file in ./bison.info*; \
                do /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 $file /usr/local/info/$file; \
                done

On the first line:

        /usr/bin/install -c bison /usr/local/bin/bison

I've made sure that all the directories exist (/usr/local/bin) and I've tried
creating a /usr/local/bin/bison directory. I still get the same error.

Do you know what's going on? I can't install GCC v2.3.1 until I get bison running.

Thanks,
Tim
