Yup.

It's a problem with FC2 as well. pre-4 is pushing a year old and I fixed 
this in October in CVS.

   * doc/Makefile: Recent versions of install(1) don't like the
     command line

        install blah* /somewhere/blah*

     that are generated when conduits.info-* isn't actually created
     (Fedora Core 2 is generating just conduits.info).

     *: changed the .info-* wildcard to .info* to match the
     conduits.info (but still match conduits.info-*)

     *: changed the install line to just put the directory in the
     target. i.e.

        install blah* /somewhere/

I think there may be a few other things I encounted and fixed during my FC2 
install which you'd be interested in as well...

You can either build from the CVS version or just snarf that particular 
Makefile. In a pinch, I could probably get you a FC3 rpm but you'd have to 
deal with a /usr prefix rather than /usr/local (I haven't quite resolved 
issuesof perl bindings in the rpms).

I guess a pre-5 (or even a full fledged 3.0) is probably overdue, too...
