Redhat 6.1
egcs 2.91.66
make-3.77-6

gmake produces:

/LOCAL/geant4.3.1/tmp/Linux-g++/G4globman/G4Exception.d:1: *** missing separator
.  Stop.


Problem seems to be the config/common.gmk file line:

@($(ECHO) $(G4TMPDIR)/\\c ; \


Change to:

@($(ECHO) $(G4TMPDIR)/\\ ; \

and error goes away and compile continues without problem

Did you try to remove the file:
  /LOCAL/geant4.3.1/tmp/Linux-g++/G4globman/G4Exception.d
and rebuild (using the original rule) ?  It might be corrupted.
\c option is required in order to avoid appending a new line to the
command which may cause the mechanism to fail on most systems.

A similar problem has been reported in the past (see report #35)
and was due to a peculiar version of 'echo' on Linux systems.
