Can anyone please explain to me what does this mean? I have been trying alot of times of make clean and do a make and make install. However, the same error still occur.
Please help.
Thanks.
It would mean that the target 'install-exec-am' is achieved. show us the makefile. Perhaps if you name the package someone in the forum may have some prior experience with that and can guide you.

INSTALL(1) General Commands Manual INSTALL(1)
NAME
install - install binaries
SYNOPSIS
install [-cs] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 file2
install [-cs] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 ... fileN directory
DESCRIPTION
The file(s) are moved (or copied if the c option is specified) to the target file or directory. If the destination is a directory, then
the file is moved into directory with its original filename. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten if permissions allow.
c Copy the file. This flag turns off the default behavior of install where it deletes the original file after creating the target.
f Specify the target's file flags. (See chflags(1) for a list of possible flags and their meanings.)
g Specify a group.
m Specify an alternate mode. The default mode is set to rwxr-xr-x (0755). The specified mode may be either an octal or symbolic
value; see chmod(1) for a description of possible mode values.
o Specify an owner.
s Install exec's the command strip(1) to strip binaries so that install can be portable over a large number of systems and binary
types.
By default, install preserves all file flags, with the exception of the ``nodump'' flag.
The install utility attempts to prevent moving a file onto itself.
Installing /dev/null creates an empty file.
Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of 1 is returned.
SEE ALSO
chflags(1), chgrp(1), chmod(1), cp(1), mv(1), strip(1), chown(8)
HISTORY
The install utility appeared in 4.2BSD.
4.2 Berkeley Distribution February 20, 1996 INSTALL(1)
