Either you 'install' program is stuffed in some way, or it is configured for a
different 'cp' program than what you have in your path. If you go 'which cp'
does it find /bin/cp or some other cp?

You might also use a different 'install' program. You can get one from:

  http://svn.dscpl.com.au/makeit/trunk/scripts/install-sh

When you run configure for mod_python, do:

  INSTALL=/some/path/install-sh ./configure ......

so it will use this install program rather than the one it is finding.

The mod_python.sl file is what you are after. The libtool program looks
not to be generating .so extension because of HPUX using a .sl extension.

Suggest you manually copy mod_python.sl into Apache modules directory,
renaming it to have a .so extension if that then matches other Apache modules.

If you do this manually, you don't need to use that other install script.
Instead, do:

  make install_py_lib

to install Python stuff and then manually copy module file to Apache
as described.
