I can reproduce your problem on a Ubuntu 12.04 host (which runs 3.81). These Linux distributions should have been carrying 3.82 a long time ago. This keeps rearing its head on this mailing list. To fix it, do this: cd /tmp wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.82.tar.gz tar xvf make-3.82.tar.gz ./configure && sudo make install which make This should now say /usr/local/bin/make Then retry. The problem was gone for me. While you're at it, use 4.1 instead of 3.82; I tried 4.1 as well and it doesn't have this problem, either. If you have no root access, use something like ./configure --prefix=$HOME instead (and put $HOME/bin in your $PATH). -- Reinier Post _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
