Thank you for a problem report. In 5.0.21-BK we have: # This sed command emulates the dirname command. dstdir=`echo "$dst" | sed -e 's,/*$,,;s,[^/]*$,,;s,/*$,,;s,^$,.,'` Please, check if it will work in your case.

sure, this works. even more bullet-proof than my proposal :-)
Description: the sed-command in line 210 of mysql-5.0.20/install-sh is claimed to emulate the dirname command, but it misses the case of an / at the end of it's argument, and so "make install" does not work if @PACKAGE@ (from config.status) is empty [ if you ask: why should this happen ? -- to get a directory structure ..../mysql/{bin,include,lib,.... ] How to repeat: ./configure .... set @PACKAGE@ to empty value in config.status ./config.status make make install Suggested fix: --- install-sh Fri Mar 31 19:11:33 2006 +++ install-sh.new Tue Apr 18 17:00:48 2006 @@ -206,9 +206,9 @@ fi fi # This sed command emulates the dirname command. - dstdir=`echo "$dst" | sed -e 's,[^/]*$,,;s,/$,,;s,^$,.,'` + dstdir=`echo "$dst" | sed -e 's,/$,,;s,[^/]*$,,;s,/$,,;s,^$,.,'` # Make sure that the destination directory exists. # Skip lots of stat calls in the usual case.
