[Michael A O Ash]

I have what must be a very simple installation problem on a unix DEC Alpha
(OSF1 emily.oit.umass.edu V4.0 878 alpha).  I have run--successfully, I
think--the configure program to install octave in /tmp/octave.  The source
code is in /tmp/octave-2.0.16, and I am running configure and make from
that directory.

emily:/tmp/octave-2.0.16% ./configure --prefix=/tmp/octave

  [lots of output that looks right, finds the right compilers, etc., etc.]

I am installing to /tmp/octave because I don't have access to /usr/local
or room in my home directory for the moment, but I don't think that this
should be relevant for my installation problem.  The problem appears
immediately after I enter the make command:

emily:/tmp/octave-2.0.16% make
Make: Makeconf: Must be a separator on line 71.  Stop.

I am an amateur user of make; so I am quite puzzled by this error.  The
offending lines include:

# Clean up INCFLAGS a bit if we are not compiling in a separate
# directory.
ifeq ($(srcdir),.)
  TMP_IF_1 = -I.
else
  TMP_IF_1 = -I. -I$(srcdir)
endif

I have also included the entire Makeconf file below if that will help. Any
tips will be greatly appreciated.  BTW, I subscribed to octave-help today;
so I may not receive a response to the list.  I will participate actively
on the list, but please be so kind as to e-mail me directly today.
