I'm sorry, but I'm not able to reproduce here (with a cross-compilation to ARM,
but the problem isn't architecture-related apparently).

Could you attach your .config ?

Created an attachment (id=485)
 --> (https://bugs.busybox.net/attachment.cgi?id=485)
main config file

 I attach my .comfig, but the problem seems more like that directory:
/home/elorrain/buildroot/project_build_powerpc/Eqam4G/root/etc
 should exist before trying to install.
 Isn't that the target device /etc ? (just begining with buildroot...)

--- Comment #3 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>  2009-07-20 17:03:13 UTC ---
Indeed this directory is $(TARGET_DIR), which contains the filesystem as it
will be on the target (with a few differences, like missing device files, not
created in this directory since device files can only be created by the root
user).

The etc/ directory in $(TARGET_DIR) is supposed to be created because the
target root filesystem is initially filled with the contents of
target/generic/target_skeleton/.

So, not sure what's happening in your case. Nothing looks odd in your .config.
Can you run a full build from scratch, and send the corresponding log ?

Something like :

rm -rf build_powerpc
rm -rf toolchain_build_powerpc
rm -rf project_build_powerpc
rm -rf binaries
make 2>&1 | tee /tmp/buildroot.log

and send us the buildroot.log file.

So your host install program doesn't seem to like doing install -D <file> <dir>
- What version/distribution are you using?

On my Debian machine it works:

mkdir /tmp/blah
touch /tmp/blih
install -m 0644 -D /tmp/blih /tmp/blah
ls -lah /tmp/blih
-rw-r--r-- 1 peko peko 0 2009-07-20 22:24 /tmp/blih
install --version

 I do not know why, but it is entirely reproduceable, "install" needs the
target filename and not only the directory where to put the source
filename. This is on a quite old centos machine, I do not have the root
password.
 I can add the full log if you want, but this screen dump should describe
the problem:

I do not know if it has to be fixed, this centos is too old. But it seems
the only place where "install" is used with a target directory in building
the whole buildroot.

 Thanks for your help,
 Etienne.

can you verify if install thefile /there/dir/ works (i.e. with trailing slash)?

Note that the install man page seems to imply that install can be used with a
target directory only if there is multiple input files:
NAME
       ginstall - copy files and set attributes

SYNOPSIS
       install [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST           (1st format)
       install [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY   (2nd format)
       install -d [OPTION]... DIRECTORY...       (3rd format)

DESCRIPTION
       In the first two formats, copy SOURCE to DEST or multiple SOURCE(s) to
       the  existing  DIRECTORY,   while   setting   permission   modes   and
       owner/group.   In the third format, create all components of the given
       DIRECTORY(ies).
