Re: install-strip and bin_SCRIPTS

[Emil Ong]

I'm sorry, I'm using the latest CVS.  I just updated this morning.  I'm
still getting the same error (File format not recognized) with
install-strip.  Do I need to refresh any scripts?  I deleted install-sh
and ran automake --add-missing --copy, but that didn't fix it either.

Thanks,
Emil
