I am trying to install openfts 0.3.2 on aolserver 3.4.2 and get the following error:

fearandwonder# gmake
(cd parser; gmake all)
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2/parser'
gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2/parser'
cp parser/Parser.so .
(cd dict; gmake all)
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2/dict'
(cd snowball; make)
"../../Makefile.global", line 23: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
gmake[1]: *** [snowball] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2/dict'
gmake: *** [dicts] Error 2

any help would be much appreciated.

please say what flavour of linux are you using.
I've just installed OpenFTS and it works ok, in Debian Woody.

yeah - looks like make is complaining about the syntax in the file which surely  must be a corrupted Maefile or an outodfate gmake - what version "does gmake --version" tell you?
