It's probably because you didn't put everything on one line in the
Makefile (it came through the email on two lines)

In a Makefile you need to either put everything on one line or put a
backslash (line continuation character) anywhere you break the line.
For example:

# Production rules:  how to make the target - depends on library configuration
> $(notdir $(target)): $(objects)
> [tab] @echo "Linking "$@"..."
> [tab] @$(libmesh_LIBTOOL) --tag=CXX $(LIBTOOLFLAGS) --mode=link --quiet \
> $(libmesh_CXX) $(libmesh_CXXFLAGS) $(objects) -o $@ $(libmesh_LIBS) \
> $(libmesh_LDFLAGS) $(EXTERNAL_FLAGS)

[tab] should be replaced with an actual tab.
