Peter, Thanks for the response. I did figure this out and, as you might have expected, the problem was between the keyboard and chair. I did have the path correct, but the path wasn't correct relative to the directory in which make was at the time of invocation. Thus, the error. I kept missing it because the path *was correct*, but not correct for usage. Thanks, Andy
