Now, the problem comes when I try to build this:

$ make all
cd lib; make
make[1]: Entering directory `/projects/intranet/src/Unix/expat/expat-1.95.1/lib'
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DPACKAGE=expat -DVERSION=expat_1.95.1 -I/home/lwv26/i/src/Unix/expat/expat-1.95.1/lib -I..  -g -c xmlparse.c
mkdir .libs

command line: fatal: invalid arg for option M  D: Illegal seek
cc: acomp failed for xmlparse.c
make[1]: *** [xmlparse.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/projects/intranet/src/Unix/expat/expat-1.95.1/lib'
make: *** [lib] Error 2


I don't know what to do to get rid of this problem - does anyone have a fix
for this?
