I'd say the make implementation is broken... Others seems to have had similar problems with other projects:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2004-08/msg00173.html http://marc.info/?l=xalan-c-users&m=103611476029916&w=2 According to http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2001-June/023527.html the tab is missing in the Makefile, which might indicate a broken m4/sed/autoconf/automake script. On the other hand, that report is quite old. I think the simplest solution is to install GNU make. /Simon "David M.
