Guylhem,

I followed your directions, and encountered the same error related to
the /modules/Zharf line.  I removed it (from the Imake file) also, and
now I'm getting this wierd formatting error when I go to "make
Makefiles"

make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 316: Unmatched `)' on line

I immediately checked out line 316 of the Makefile, and I found that
error.  However, I don't know what the proper syntax should be...  here
is the original line:

all::
	@case '${MFLAGS}' in *[ik]*) set +e;; esac; \
	for i in $(SUBDIRS) ;\
	do \
	(cd $$i ; echo "making" all "in $(CURRENT_DIR)/$$i..."; \
	$(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) 'CDEBUGFLAGS=$(CDEBUGFLAGS)' all); \
	done

It's plain to see where the mismatched parenthesis is, but I don't know
what it should be paired up with.

Thanks!

-Erik
