I'm trying to install the Exiv2 library (locally, for just me), but run into the following error:

theo@willow:~/tools/exiv2-0.23$ make
... [some make jibber-jabber]
/bin/sh: test: argument expected
make[1]: *** [XMPMeta-GetSet.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/theo/tools/exiv2-0.23/xmpsdk/src'
make: *** [xmpsdk] Error 2

It looks like this issue—'argument expected'—definitely has arisen before (example: [https://mail.gnome.org/archives/garnome-list/2006-June/msg00035.html]) but I couldn't find a solution. Any enlightenment?
