Here is my guess.  Could you try, from your interactive shell:

	$ (unset CDPATH; make install)

first without the above "fix" (your "fixed" pipe does not make
any sense --- what are the data passed between pipe upstream and
downstream?)?

If that makes the problem go away, then your environment is
broken --- my guess is that you are exporting CDPATH to
non-interactive scripts.  Don't do that.

I once googled for "CDPATH" and saw many "guide to unix" type
webpages talk about "CDPATH environment variable"; they are the
real culprit to cause this confusion in peoples' .bash_profile.
CDPATH might be a nice variable for interactive shells, but is a
horrible one if made environment.
