Above line isn't wrong. The line | DATA = $(INSTALL_DATA) however is: DATA is, well, data. INSTALL_DATA is a program. Sorry I overlooked this the last time. > in one of my Makefile.am files.

Quoting from Automake 1.10 NEWS file: | * New installation targets: | | - New targets mandated by GNU Coding Standards: | install-dvi | install-html | install-ps | install-pdf | By default they will only install Texinfo manuals. | You can customize them with *-local variants: | install-dvi-local | install-html-local | install-ps-local | install-pdf-local install-info was already handled before, as of course -data and -exec.
