Very strange - especially since "make" seems to work for you. Was there
any output when you tried "make install"? Or did it just seem to hang?
What happens if you remove the "@" sign before the if statement below
(the one above the ^ symbol)?

Hello Justin,

It says: "make: `install' is up to date." and it does nothing other then return the command prompt. It doesn't hang or apparently do anything.

install:
   @ # The following action MUST be a single action. That is, all lines
   @ # except the last line must have a backslash (\) at the end to
   @ # continue the statement. The reason for this is that Make does not
   @ # have an exit command thus, exit terminates the shell. However,
   @ # Make creates a new shell for each action listed for a target.
   @ # Therefore, the only way exit will quit Make is if there is only
   @ # a single action for the target.
   @ # Check if grass has been compiled, if INST_DIR is writable, and if
   @ # grass is part of INST_DIR
   @ if [ ! -f ${GRASS_BIN}/grass${NAME_VER} ] ; then \
   ^ echo "ERROR: Grass has not been compiled. Try \"make\" first."; \
       echo " Installation aborted, exiting Make."; \

Is anything printed out if you try "make install" now? Finally if you
still don't see anything, then please send me your copy of your Makefile
(not Makefile.in).

After I removed the @ byte, it says the same thing. I will send you the Makefile personally. I am about to do a make clean and compile beta 11 pre 2. I will let you know how that works.

One note, I ran the make script as root and proceeded despite the warning. I think I am going to compile pre2 as a regular user....

Hmmm. Is there a file in the same directory called "install"? If so
please rename it and then "make install" should work. If not, I know
there is a file called "install-sh", try renaming that file.

Compiling as root shouldn't matter. The warning is there because in
general, user root should be used as little as possible to avoid
catastrophic errors.

I hope this helps.
