That syntax should be fine for csh, but if > you are using something like bash you may need to change the syntax. No, the shell isn't interpreting anything in that command line (the variable assignment is interpreted by make itself), so the command is fine. Maybe the sources aren't completely installed? If I were trying to exercise my psychic technical support powers, I might guess that the system makefiles weren't installed. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/
