*NEWBIES TAKE NOTE*
This is a standard problem I have seena  bunch of times.  So take note! :)
(This might want to be added to the faq too.)

You probably copy pasted the files into your makefile.  Makefiles are 
real picky about the difference between spaces and tabs.  Makefiles will 
accept only 1 space inbetween text.  If you need more than once space, 
use a tab.  When you copy paste something like this into your makefile, 
the copy paste fills it in with spaces instead of tabs.  So go back and 
make sure they are tabs not spaces.
