I have no idea what to do with it.  I know that the error is coming out of the makefile (dur):
prefix=/usr
bindir = ${prefix}/bin
mandir = ${prefix}/share/man
INSTALL = /bin/install
INSTALLPROG = ${INSTALL} -m 0755
INSTALLMAN = ${INSTALL} -m 0644

[snip]

install: wmsystray/wmsystray
        mkdir -p ${bindir}
        mkdir -p ${bindir}/man1
        ${INSTALLPROG} wmsystray/wmsystray ${bindir}/wmsystray
        ${INSTALLMAN} doc/wmsystray.1 ${mandir}/man1/wmsystray.1

You realize that you could just copy/paste the error here instead of making me go to an annoying site, right?

In any case, in the Makefile, try changing install to ginstall.  If that doesn't work, then see if you can find the "install" program.  It should be included in the fileutils package, if I'm not mistaken. 

If nothing else works, just the program to the directory.  That's all install really does.

I tried to copy + paste, but I couldn't figure it out (and Sidoh was no help with that).  Thanks, I'll try that.

Don't forget that you have to be root to move it into the other folder.  If you're copying/pasting with your window manager (do people do that?), you need to be able to do it as root.

The image clearly shows my pretty #!

I just reinstalled Slack (again) to fix some issues.  I'll try changing it to ginstall when I get it again.  Thanks.
