this is so weird; I compiled this programbut the check was bad on it so I decided to compile it again to see if I messed up on it. So I delete the directories and logs and everything having to do with this section. So then I extracted the tar ball and all the steps that are supposed to be done to the point I'm at now (which is 'make'). So I type in the make command and: Makeconfig:42: *** missing separator. Stop. huh? so I google it and find out that what this means is that at line 42 there is supposed to be a at the beginning of the line and that it isn't there. huh? it already compiled without complaining about it. WHy is it complaining this time around!? :-)~MIKE~(-:
