Hi Edward,

> Can't exec "/usr/share/lib/make": Permission denied at

On my Sun boxes (Solaris 8 & 9), "/usr/share/lib/make" is a directory --
*not* the "make" command.  On Solaris, the "make" command is
"/usr/ccs/bin/make" however it is very likely that "/usr/ccs/bin" is not
in your PATH.  Add it to your PATH (and put it before any paths that may
have another "make" in it) and try the install again.
