I think your PATH is bad or something. Look at this output of yours:

> /usr/local/packages/idb_remote/8.1-5-20040922/bin/install -c 'libcurl.la'
> '/home/gauragup/app/curl/lib/libcurl.la'

What on earth is this directory and why is the makefile using that install? I
believe configure searched your path for an 'install' script that works and it
picked this one, but it doesn't actually work.
