there must have been an error before that.
try 'make clean ; make >& mk.out' and have
a close look at the generated file mk.out.

i also recommend to turn off native language support (NLS)
via setting the environment variable LC_ALL to the value of C
whenever running any scientific software.

a lot of code are written under the assumptions of a regular
ASCII locale and thus weird things can happen. also you make
your error messages less- or even unreadable by people not
familiar with your local language. please have a look at
http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/pw_forum/2007-April/006264.html
for an example of a problem cause by use of NLS.

cheers,
   axel.
