"./.." "./../.." If you also happen to use Automake, then automake --add-missing will install the file 'install-sh' into your package. Otherwise I'm afraid you have to do it manually once. You can just copy the one that comes with the Autoconf package into the toplevel directory of your source tree, next to configure.ac. (If you eventually use AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, then the file belongs in that directory.) Hope that helps.
