/usr/bin/install is backwards compatible probably with SVR4.0 or somesuch. /usr/ucb/install is probably closer to what you want, although I don't know if it is present (I'm looking at Solaris 10 as an example, not 2008.05, which I don't have). Other places it might be (again, I don't have every distro) include /usr/gnu/bin/install or perhaps ginstall in /usr/bin, /usr/sfw/bin, or /opt/sfw/bin. Many scripts and config utils are smart enough to try ginstall as well as install, so hopefully you just have to start out with your PATH set to find the needed version first. Tell the truth, as many people as want a lighter weight desktop, I'm surprised it's not already packaged. But I think 4.4.1 binaries are available (maybe just tar files, I don't know...) for x86 at http://dlc.sun.com/osol/xfce/downloads/current/x86/ (bummer no parallel SPARC directory!)
