The problem you describe seems to be the same that I very often have when
trying to install packages on our Solaris 2.5 machines.
In my case the problem is the call of the 'install' program in the
Makefile.
Most often (and, indeed, also in the fvwm Makefiles), install is called
in the following way (I only show the important options):
install -c demo /usr/local/bin/demo
installing program 'demo' from the current directory to the file
/usr/local/bin/demo.
Unfortunately, our install program (which is a shell script for Sys V)
doesn't recognize this version.
You have to say:
install -c /usr/local/bin demo
So a possible solution for the problem is to go through all the Makefiles
and change each 'install' call accordingly.
Hope that helps,
Ulrich
