So i got thinking... Mabey I should just make a usplash-artwork.so file... so i created a blank file in /etc/alternatives called usplash-artwork.so and tried to run sudo make install again, this is the new output



cp macx-ubuntu-morph-splash.so /usr/lib/usplash
rm /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so
ln -s /usr/lib/usplash/macx-ubuntu-morph-splash.so /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so
dpkg-reconfigure usplash
Package `usplash' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: usplash is not installed
make: *** [install] Error 1

Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

Ubuntu 9.10 used uplash but 10.04 uses Plymouth.
