Sorry, I've been away for some time.  There's still something strange
here.  A lot of error messages are coming.  Here's the last successful
step and the first failure:

 /usr/local/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 gnus-tut.txt /usr/users/nk/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus/../../etc/gnus-tut.txt
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/users/nk/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus/../../etc/gnus
cd . \
&& for p in images/gnus/*.xpm images/gnus/*.pbm images/gnus/*.xbm images/gnus/x-splash; do \
  echo " /usr/local/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 $p /usr/users/nk/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus/../../etc/$p"; \
  /usr/local/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 $p /usr/users/nk/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus/../../etc/$p; \
done
 /usr/local/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 images/gnus/bar.xpm /usr/users/nk/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus/../../etc/images/gnus/bar.xpm
/usr/local/bin/ginstall: cannot create regular file `/usr/users/nk/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus/../../etc/images/gnus/bar.xpm': No such file or directory


Ah, now I understand.  The target directory is not created, yet.  IMO,
it also lacks a 'gnus' in its path:

/path/to/site-packages/lisp/gnus/../../etc/gnus/images/
                                           ^^^^ here.

Does this help you?

Thanks,
