I believe that I've installed all the necessary libraries and such.

When attempting to creat the makefile via "make -f Makefile.dist" I recieve this error:

# make -f Makefile.dist
/bin/sh: syntax error: `(' unexpected
*** Error code 1

Stop in /root/showeq (line 126 of Makefile.dist).



Ideas or suggestions?

use gmake instead of make.

Already tried that:

bash# gmake -f Makefile.dist
/bin/sh: syntax error: `(' unexpected
gmake: *** [all] Error 1

probably your sh then, i wouldnt doubt that the makefile has some bash specific constructs, so make sure thats the shell that is evaluating things.

and if sh does point to bash, then i'm not sure

No change under sh, csh, ksh, bash, zsh.

Hello!

Having the very same problem on FreeBSD.

any hint? I tried updating to the latest gmake/gcc and editing Makefile.dist but still same error.
