Hmm. It's noticeable this is at a line continuation (with a '\'). I would 
say this must be a windows problem, but you're using Linux :-), but it 
makes me wonder if you are in fact using sources you downloaded on Windows 
and copied to your linux box. If so, you will need to strip the carriage 
returns from the file to make it a proper Unix text file. You can use tr 
-d '\r' for this, e.g.

for i in `find . -type f` ; do tr -d '\r' < $i > $i.nocr ; mv $i.nocr $i ; 
done

(note: untested, excuse typos)

*Preferably* Linux really!
