What is the problem there? The suggested steps are succeeding here.
Ah, so they are -- it's because mkinstalldirs is in the tarball (I had
to 'make distcheck' on a Fedora Core 1 machine). If you remove it
first, it will not be created during bootstrap, and you will see the
problem. (I saw this by doing a CVS export.)
