I've returned to my work after a (short) week of vacation, and I still have trouble installing Geany on this Debian Etch system... Geany installs fine on my home installation of Ubuntu Fiesty 7.04.

I've done both a "make distclean" as an "svn export" to ensure that there's no cruft left from previous compiles, but to no avail:

Making install in po
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/harold/svn/geany-0.12-svn1765/po'
make[2]: install_sh@: Command not found
make[2]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/harold/svn/geany-0.12-svn1765/po'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/harold/svn/geany-0.12-svn1765'
make: *** [install] Error 2


Help?
