install program for subversion

[Steve Kunkee <st...@gmail.com>]

I have been trying to get subversion working on HP-UX 11.11. The current
obstacle is that the install program is not working. Apparently the
subversion installation process expects a different version.

My HP machine has two install programs, /opt/imake/bin/install and
/usr/sbin/install. The former apparently comes from the X consortium. The
latter is not identified. Both are shell scripts.

The /usr/bin/install program on Linux is not a script. I believe that
subversion would install correctly on Linux, but I haven't tried it.

The HP subversion installation specifically builds the neon makefile to use
/opt/imake/bin/install. Where does this install program come from? I've
looked on GNU and I've looked on the HP-UX porting center page, but nothing
seems related.

Hi Steve,

What is 'The HP subversion installation'? Have HP made official Subversion
packages available for download, at long last? Good for them if so. I've
no idea why they chose to use /opt/imake/bin/install though, sorry.

On our HP-UX box, Subversion's 'make install' code successfully found and
used /usr/local/bin/install, which was compiled from GNU coreutils 5.2.1.
