I don't know for sure, but I suspect it's a problem with your directory path.
You're installing in a directory that includes '(' and ')' and spaces - never
easy on UNIX utilities.
I'd put the source and build in a "more standard" directory like
/Users/macbook/Code (e.g., ~/Code) and I suspect your problem will disappear. I
develop and install locally on Mac, and the GitHub code is tested against Mac
on a continual basis.

(BTW, I think compiling in a Dropbox folder is probably a bad idea, since you'd
be sync'ing object files from one source to any other Dropbox shares.)
