mc-4.5.35 install error

[Brian M Dial <bdial rkkengineers com>]

Hrmmmm, never had this problem before with mc but with the latest
mc-4.5.35 when I go to do a make install I get 

do /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 ./$I /usr/lib/mc/$I; done
for I in mc.ext mc-gnome.ext; \
do /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 /usr/src/mc-4.5.35/lib/$I /usr/lib/mc/$I;
done
for I in README.xterm linux.ti xterm.ad xterm.ti ansi.ti vt100.ti
xterm.tcap; \
do /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 ./$I /usr/lib/mc/term/$I; done
./mkinstalldirs /usr/etc
make[1]: ./mkinstalldirs: Command not found
make[1]: *** [install] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/mc-4.5.35/lib'
make: *** [install] Error 1


Using a nifty little program called InstallWatch it seems to die around
here

Can't figure this out.  I've unpacked the source and tried again but the
same thing happens, and I can't find anything in the mkinstalldirs that
would be causing this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
