>Description:
When installing packages that use imake under OpenSolaris, installation fails, 
as /usr/ucb/install is not available any more.

pkgsrc does the right thing in mk/tools/tools.SunOS.mk:

.if exists(/usr/bin/ginstall)   # if we are using OpenSolaris
TOOLS_PLATFORM.install?=        /usr/bin/ginstall
.else
TOOLS_PLATFORM.install?=        /usr/ucb/install
.endif

but imakes configuration in lib/X11/config/sun.cf is rather inflexible:

# if OSMinorVersion > 3
#  define InstallCmd        /usr/ucb/install
# endif
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Small fix: patch

#  define InstallCmd        /usr/ucb/install

in sun.cf to

#  define InstallCmd        @@PKGSRC_INSTALL@@

and replace it with ${TOOLS_PLATFORM.install} during  pre-configure step, 
similar to PKGSRC_CC, etc.

Big fix(?): Replace every definition of InstallCmd with TOOLS_PLATFORM.install, 
for all platforms.
