Thanks for the report. It would be much more useful if you included the Makefile, not the Makefile.in, since make is actually using the Makefile. I cannot reproduce your problem on my system: I don't get a syntax error when I massage the Makefile.in you included. If you run "make clean" do you get the same error? If so, please run "make -n clean" and cut and paste that as well (or redirect to a file and attach it to the email). I'd like to see exactly what the shell invocation looks like that gets an error. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
