This looks like an unset makefile variable, to me.  In other words, the
makefile is trying to create a directory whose name is stored in a makefile
variable and that variable is unset, so it's trying to create a directory
called "".  I would try running "make config" again to ensure all of the
variables have data.  When that's done, look at install.conf to check for
oddness.  Then run 'make verbose install' again.

Also, does the user who is running this command have permission to create
the necessary directories at install time?

Hope this helps,
