== System ==
 Mac OS X 10.4.8 for PPC (G4) with GHC 6.4.1 installed.

 == Description ==
 On this system, neither the source or binary tarballs will install.  When
 the user enters {{{sudo make install}}} the install prcess fails, saying
 that there and insufficient permissions to run {{{install-sh}}}.
 (Unfortunately, I did not preserve the original error message.)

 == Steps to Reproduce ==
 === Source tarball ===
 To reproduce the error message:
  1. Download and extract the tarball.
  2. Run {{{./configure}}}
  3. Run {{{make}}}
  4. Run {{{sudo make install}}} and enter the correct password.
  5. Observe that the install fails with permission errors.

 === Binary tarball ===
 To reproduce the error message:
  1. Download and extract the tarball.
  2. Install according to instructions.
  5. Observe that the install fails with permission errors.

 == Workaround ==
 === Source tarball ===
 Make {{{install-sh}}} executable by running {{{chmod +x install-sh}}} in
 the build directory.

 === Binary tarball ===
 Not tested but will probably be the same as the source tarball.
