My first thought is that it looks like you're doing a system install
here (you didn't do something like

  $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local

to install it in a local directory), so the next question would be
whether you're running the `make install` as your user or as root?

I just pulled 04.03.07 from git on one of my OpenBSD boxes, specified
a local prefix and it built/installed uneventfully:

  $ git clone $REMIND_REPO_URL remind
  $ cd remind
  $ git checkout 04.03.07
  $ mkdir ~/local
  $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
  $ make
  $ make install

If you didn't add the `--prefix=...` when doing the ./configure,
you might need to do

  $ doas make install

(or `su -` to root and do the `make install` step).
