Just downloaded 1.26.3 today, it complied perfectly, but I keep running into error when I do a make install:

root@camserv02:/usr/src/ZoneMinder-1.26.3# make install

When I look into the makefile, src/Makefile, I found:

# Yes, you are correct. This is a HACK!
install-exec-hook:
( cd $(DESTDIR)${exec_prefix}/bin; mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(cgidir); mv zms $(DESTDIR)$(cgidir) )
( cd $(DESTDIR)$(cgidir); chown $(webuser):$(webgroup) zms; ln -f zms nph-zms )
( cd $(DESTDIR)${exec_prefix}/bin; chmod u+s zmfix )


What am I suppose to do to pass this?

Many Thanks!!

Notice that $cgidir is empty. It shouldn't be. Two things come to mind:
Did you run bootstrap.sh before running configure?
How did you run confgure? We need to see all the options you passed to it because that is likely where the problem is.
