Yes, it does. But if you are still compiling libosip2-3.0.3, then you
should never need to chmod scripts/install-sh manually. In the upstream
tarball, the script is correctly marked as executable.

Either your file system still does not support executable files or you
have a corrupted copy of libosip2-3.0.3 sources.

I am curious how you was even able to run configure. You write in your
previous mail, that you used:

configure --prefix=/usr

But it is not intended to work and should fail with:
sh: configure: command not found

No. scripts/install-sh is a script and you should get it in the
libosip2-3.0.3 source tarball. It should be executable even if you have
no or totally broken compiler.

It is very probably still the same issue - problems with file
permissions. There may be more sources causing it:
- noexec mount of the file system
- bad suid bit on the directory you unpack to
- bad ulimit
- unpacking on platform/filesystem, which does not support permissions.
