I was getting a heap of similar errors a while back, on whatever
I attempted to compile.
Check your RAM as a first step.
I had no end of trouble trying compile 2.2.17 - gave it away after
not being able to get several modules to compile with the same
kinds of errors, (missing punctuation characters, no end of line
in line xxx), and so on.
I haven't bothered to revisit.
Cheers
