I though that you were talking about _default_ 'install' program
(first in PATH). Is /opt/imake/bin/install used below?
I have forgot to tell that beside uncommenting AC_PROG_INSTALL line
in configure.ac (and doing "make configure") you have to also uncomment
the "INSTALL = @INSTALL@" in config.mak.in for "make install" to use
install program found by ./configure script.

Strange...
By the way, I have took a look at hos ./configure script chooses which
'install' to use, and at least for GNU Autoconf 2.59 it does not talk
about HP-UX at all, and checks binaries to reject by grepping for
a string, instead of checking if it install files correctly using some
script (at least checking if it install files and creates directories,
and accepts install options used, without checking for correct permissions
and group, etc.).
Relevant fragment of generated ./configure script

# Find a good install program. We prefer a C program (faster),
# so one script is as good as another. But avoid the broken or
# incompatible versions:
# SysV /etc/install, /usr/sbin/install
# SunOS /usr/etc/install
# IRIX /sbin/install
# AIX /bin/install
# AmigaOS /C/install, which installs bootblocks on floppy discs
# AIX 4 /usr/bin/installbsd, which doesn't work without a -g flag
# AFS /usr/afsws/bin/install, which mishandles nonexistent args
# SVR4 /usr/ucb/install, which tries to use the nonexistent group "staff"
# OS/2's system install, which has a completely different semantic
# ./install, which can be erroneously created by make from ./install.sh.
