Check your $PATH, 'install' lives in /usr/bin/install.

Edit: Nope, that's not it, I get the same error.

You can edit the PKGBUILD and change 'install' to '/usr/bin/install'.

Hello!

Same problem here.

Doing what karol suggested solved the Error 127 problem, but it still doesn't work: I get an empty (0,00 mb) package that only "seems" to install yaourt: pacman recognize it as installed but if I type "yaourt" I get the command not found.

I also had this problem.  I put a line in the PKGBUILD right before the install line to 'sed' the /bin/install in the Makefile to /usr/bin/install and it worked perfectly.

...
package() {
    cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver/
    sed -i 's|/bin/install|/usr/bin/install|' Makefile
    make PREFIX-/usr sysconfdir=/etc localstatedir=/var DESTDIR=$pkgdir install
}
...

EDIT: fixed one typo - there may be others as the sed line was not copied from a working version of the PKGBUILD, but rater reconstructed from memory.

EDIT AGAIN: I guess this is similar to Karol's point.  However, it seems the problem is in the Makefile not the PKGBUILD itself.

I think you're right as it seemed really weird that the PKGBUILD would break all of a sudden, but I was too lazy to dive deeper into this ;P
