[Coin-discuss] Bug in ./configure when a non-executable INSTALL is available in $PATH

[Stefan Vigerske]

Hi,

you could make sure that a working 'install' is in $PATH before the one 
from RepeatMasker-open-3-3-0.
E.g., I have /usr/bin/install on my Linux system.
I also have /bin/echo and since /bin is also early in my search path, I 
think I should not even have problems with spaces in the path.

Also in general, it may be a good idea to have important system paths in 
the front of $PATH.
