Hey could sombody help me out with this error please!

It's Midnight Commander & FreeBSD 2.0R

Looks ok to me, But then again I know little about Unix!

The error:
	"Makefile", line 9: Need an operator
	Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
	*** Error code 1

And the Makefile, Cut down to size.. :)
  # Generated automatically from Makefile.in by configure.
  srcdir = .

  rootdir = $(srcdir)

  VERSION=3.1.12
  SHELL = /bin/sh

  # This variable makes it possible to move the installation root to another
  # directory. This is useful when you're creating a binary distribution of mc.
  # If empty, normal root will be used.
  # You can run e.g. 'make install DESTDIR=/packages/mc/3.0' to accomplish
  # that.
  # DESTDIR = /opt/apps/mc/$(VERSION)

  # Installation target directories & other installation stuff
  prefix = /usr/local
  exec_prefix = $(prefix)
  binprefix =
  manprefix =
  bindir = $(exec_prefix)/bin
  libdir = $(exec_prefix)/lib/mc
  suppbindir = $(libdir)/bin
  tidir = $(libdir)/term
  extfsdir = $(libdir)/extfs
  icondir = $(libdir)/icons
  mandir = $(prefix)/man/man1
  manext = 1
  man8dir = $(prefix)/man/man8
  man8ext = 8
  xv_bindir = 

  # Tools & program stuff
<SNIP>

now, By my count this:
	bindir = $(exec_prefix)/bin
is line 9 ?? Right!
But it's correct. ??

HELP!! Please!

Thanks

Gary
