Juast made the change in the Makefile I am having an issue with and I
get the same looping effect. You seem to be more knowledgeable than I
with make, so could you explain why this section executes no matter what
argument is added when running make?? I get the loop no matter if I run
make, make clean, or make install. I thought that if I issues a "make
clean" is would jusmp to the section in the Makefile identified by
"clean:" which is after the section in question that is looping.


Thanks
