Solaris install problem

I'm having trouble installing V1.68 on solaris 9. When typing:
install
in the untar directory it reports:
install: test: unknown operator: /sbin/uname
When typing /sbin/uname it reports "SunOS". I looked at the install script and am baffled why it doesn't work.
Any ideas? ... Dave

And by using sh install?

You said:

The sh shell is identified in the script, but I did also try:
./install
sh install
However I just found the problem by trying
ksh install
This worked, so it appears as though the script is not sh compable (at least on Solaris 9). Also note that Solaris 9 seems to moved the app-defaults directory since /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults does not exist.
