Thanks Arthur, Jonathan--that makes sense. I tried setting the environment var, still no luck:

make[1]: Making `all' in `data'
make[2]: Entering directory `/r/ge.unx.sas.com/vol/vol10/u101/tiarno/texlive2008/source/libs/icu-xetex/data'
/bin/sh: Syntax error at line 7 : `;' is not expected.
make[2]: *** [out/tmp/res_index.txt] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/r/ge.unx.sas.com/vol/vol10/u101/tiarno/texlive2008/source/libs/icu-xetex/data'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/r/ge.unx.sas.com/vol/vol10/u101/tiarno/texlive2008/source/libs/icu-xetex'
make: *** [all] Error 1

>>> echo $SHELL
/usr/local/bin/bash

I'll see what other shells I have available and try those.
so far: bash, tcsh, zsh, ksh.
thanks,
