The Makefile for checkpassword creates a program called "install"
which is not intended to be installed itself; it simply installs the
checkpassword program.  Apparently, your system's normal "install"
program was overwritten with (but not by) the "install" program for
checkpassword.  If you installed this "install" program yourself, you
shouldn't have; just follow the instructions.  If you used someone
else's (apparently buggy) installation procedure for checkpassword
(perhaps the ports tree?), then you can report this problem to whoever
maintains that alternate installation procedure for checkpassword.
You might also consider not using that alternattte procedure and just
following DJB's instructions for installing checkpassword.
