Holy smokes, Bob - thanks for the complete explanation!
Here's the odd thing I was seeing, but can no longer reproduce. Does it ring any bells? Most users of the makefiles had no problems, but most users also had csh as their default shells. I have bash as a default shell, and I had problems. Specifically, lines like this: makedepend >& /dev/null I said to myself, "That looks like valid csh redirection, but invalid bash redirection. I bet that's the problem. So I changed this to: makedepend > /dev/null 2>&1 and now everything seems to work ok for everyone. So what puzzles me is that I was seeming to get a build error that was shell-specific. Yet I see plenty of information from man pages, folks like you, etc. that say I should never be seeing shell-specific build errors.
