[LLVMdev] questions about installing llvm

It works. Thanks!

However, although the configuration and installation process doesn't report
any error/warning, the llvmc cannot work. It just says: Unexpected unknown
exception occurred :(

Do you have any clue about that?

Sorry, Reid, but I think it will, for the following reason:

I don't really know what the -c (lowercase) option does, but install
says it's ignored anyway, so that's irrelevant for GNU install.  We're
talking about the -C option (uppercase).

docs/Makefile uses $(INSTALL) -C (uppercase).

My point is that /usr/dcs/..../ginstall doesn't accept -C but
/usr/bin/install does.  

Changing it in Makefile.config will do the trick.
