lr-20001211 on FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE?

Folks,

	I got the announcement yesterday that a new version of the 
package was available.  I downloaded the stuff today, and am 
currently trying to build it.  I read the instructions in INSTALL, 
and then did the following:

		./configure --prefix=/usr/local/logreport \
		--sysconfdir=/usr/local/logreport/etc \
		--libexecdir=/usr/local/logreport/lib

	which I have line-wrapped for readability.


	However, when I try to run "make", I get:

		$ make
		Making all in all
		Making all in etc
		Making all in lib
		Making all in man
		Making all in script
		Making all in src
		"Makefile", line 206: Need an operator
		make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
		*** Error code 1

		Stop in /usr/local/src/logreport/lr-20001211/all.
		*** Error code 1

		Stop in /usr/local/src/logreport/lr-20001211.

	The offending line is the "installcheck" line in the following section:

         -rm -rf $(distdir)
         GZIP=$(GZIP_ENV) $(TAR) zxf $(distdir).tar.gz
         mkdir $(distdir)/=build
         mkdir $(distdir)/=inst
         dc_install_base=`cd $(distdir)/=inst && pwd`; \
         cd $(distdir)/=build \
           && ../configure --srcdir=.. --prefix=$$dc_install_base \
           && $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) \
           && $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) dvi \
           && $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) check \
           && $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) install \
           && $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) installcheck \
           && $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) dist
         -rm -rf $(distdir)
         @banner="$(distdir).tar.gz is ready for distribution"; \
         dashes=`echo "$$banner" | sed s/./=/g`; \
         echo "$$dashes"; \
         echo "$$banner"; \
         echo "$$dashes"
dist: distdir
         -chmod -R a+r $(distdir)
         GZIP=$(GZIP_ENV) $(TAR) chozf $(distdir).tar.gz $(distdir)
         -rm -rf $(distdir)


	Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going wrong here? 
Do I need to use Gnu make instead of Berkeley make?

	Thanks!
