[Xastir] Ubuntu 11.04 Xastir issues

[K8PET]

I am trying to make xastir from source on Ubuntu 11.04.  Problems start at
the install step with the message

test -z "/usr/local/share/xastir/config" || /bin/mkdir -p
"/usr/local/share/xastir/config"
/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/share/xastir': No such file
or directory
make[2]: *** [install-configDATA] Error 1


this looks like the -p is not working as expected from the mkdir man page
but it works ok from the command line


k8pet at gtway-usb:/usr/local/src/xastir-2.0.0$ man mkdir
k8pet at gtway-usb:/usr/local/src/xastir-2.0.0$ mkdir -p ./fungus/mungus

k8pet at gtway-usb:/usr/local/src/xastir-2.0.0$ ls ./fungus
mungus

With Ubuntu 11.04 this same error occurs back to as far as I checked
(Xastir-1.9.4).

Suggestions please!
