Problem with make on IBM-AIX5.2 compiler

[Barbara Berardy]

We are compiling on an IBM-AIX5.2 host using the GNU 3.3.2 compiler.

The problem we are seeing is that when there is an erroneous directory name
(typo)
in one of the top level makefiles, the compile spawns many make -w install
processes
and  just keeps on going. We end up out of processes for the user account
and have to go
in and kill all the make -w install processes.

Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.

This is the error where the typo occurrs:

This is an example of  a make install showing flags,etc. that we are using
