The install process wants to call install with a -d option. AIX
has two
install programs but they are pretty old -- neither takes a -d
option.
Is there a GNU install program I can get? I've not been able to
locate
one.
It's in GNU coreutils:

I don't know what Mike uses to install on AIX; you can see his config
setup here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/git/gitbuild.git?a=tree;f=mr/aix;hb=platform
but I don't see any override of install.
I've got the AIX Toolbox for Linux applications[1] installed and ahead
of /bin and /usr/bin on my PATH. Beware that some of these don't
function as well as the stock AIX utilities and should normally be
removed. I've posted about this on what is ostensibly a blog but which
is really just a post-it note I'm less likely to lose[2].
Failing that, many programs which are primarily configured using
autoconf will ship with an install shell script which you can co-opt,
some apache stuff does too[3].
Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks guys. I picked up coreutils version 7. I didn't
install them but just moved ginstall over to /usr/local/bin.
A few other comments: I had to add in the --without-tcltk flag. I
don't have
tcl installed but the config did not autodetect that it was not present.
I can't tell if make test is happy or not. The output looks like its
happy
but the exit code is 2.
Below is my "configure" script if anyone is interested.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib'
export CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include'
export CC=gcc
echo CONFIG_SHELL set to ${CONFIG_SHELL}
${CONFIG_SHELL} ../../src/git-1.6.1/configure --without-tcltk

# Note that to install you need to do:
# make INSTALL=ginstall install
