[gpm]Make install errors

[archaic]

Here's the last few lines of make install. I have the complete logs for
compile, make, make install if they would be needed.

/bin/install -c disable-paste /usr/bin/disable-paste
# POSIX requires the range of a for loop be nonempty and Bash
# 2.x goes along; unfortunately that means an additional
# headache in cases like this
if test "xlibgpm.so.-1.20.0" != "x" ; then \
 /bin/install -c -m 644 libgpm.so.-1.20.0 /usr/lib/libgpm.so.-1.20.0 ;\
 cd /usr/lib && ln -s -f libgpm.so.-1.20.0 libgpm.so ;\
 # LDCONFIG is removed. Why ? make install should be possible as normal
/bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gpm-1.20.0/src'
make: *** [do-install] Error 1

I don't know what to make of the syntax error and ldconfig is installed. I've
searched google, and this list, but can't find anything that relates.
Install commands are:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
