Hallo Tom,

I don't know whether it will help to solve your problem, but nevertheless
let me tell about some new experiences with 'install.gpc'.

 - I removed the MACHTYPE feature, and on SuSe 7.x systems installation
   works fine, as before.

 - When trying the installation on Sun Solaris 7 and 8 I run into  similar
   problems as you report. Then, after reinstalling some gnu-tools
   (make-3.79, sed-3.02, grep-2.5 and patch-2.5) install.gpc worked
   fine without problems. I can't exactly say which one of the tools
   brought the breakthrough. The week point of the script is checking the
   right prerequisites and, if necessary, give some advice what to do.

 - ... and great success on HP-UX 10.20 systems. When trying installation
   the job never aborted nearer to the end than ever before %-))

You may download the modified version of install.gpc and install.gnu from

  http://www.desy.de/~bohnen/tools/install.gpc  and
  http://www.desy.de/~bohnen/tools/install.gnu

Before use get some help with the -h switch and when installing software
select maximum verbosity with -V 2, examples:

  install.gpc -V 2              # installs gpc
  install.gnu -V 2 -i make 3.79 # installs make version 3.79


Regards
Ernst-Ludwig
