Hello, Everyone
The following gentelman :"Richard Lärkäng <richard@goteborg.utfors.se>" 
contacted me off list with the following email:

This fixed the problem perfectly.

To hopefully correct a mistaken assumption about my problem, I always compile 
as a regular user, and then install as root.  I am quite clear on the fact 
that you can't install something globally on your system when you are not 
root.  It only takes a few times trying to find that out :)  
But /usr/bin/install was literally being called when I was running "make" as 
a regular user.  As we all know, "/usr/bin/install" is only supposed to be 
called when one is running "make install", not just "make"

Anyway, all is well now.
Have a Great Day,
Steven P. Ulrick
