Yes. There is only ONE install program
(that is a small lie, there is also /usr/sbin/install, but that is not
 accessible for mortal users)

But I don't think it found install-sh.

http://www.xs4all.nl/~procura/configure

added a 'set -x' there:

configure: CHECKS for programs
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
