For what you're doing, you probably don't need an Mmakefile.

The error message you are getting probably means that there is a
syntax error in the Mmakefile in your directory.  Mmake takes your
Mmakefile, some predefined rules and some Mmakefile fragments
generated by `mmake depend', and uses them to create the Makefile
for your program or library. If there is a syntax error, you can use
`mmake -s' to save the generated makefile to a file named Mmake.makefile
in the current directory, which makes it easier to find out what
is causing the problem. 

If you don't want to do that, try renaming or deleting the Mmakefile.

Why didn't you respond to this part of Nancy's message?
If you don't supply the information you are asked for,
we can't help you.
