From the LISTSERV Installation Notes for Unix:

...

The command, "make install" will copy the "lsv", "lsv_amin", and "lcmd"
programs to the appropriate directories, as specified by the BINDIR and
LSVROOT macros in the Makefile. In addition several directories will be
created and a number of data files copied to those directories. While there
are scenarios in which you can complete this step from the LISTSERV account,
in most cases you will need to become "root" to run the "make install"
command.

SOLARIS SPECIFIC:  When issuing the commands below be sure to follow them
exactly. If you issue "su - root" instead of "su root" LISTSERV will be
installed but will fail when you attempt to start it.

Sample commands for this step:

 su root
 make install
 exit
