No, the shell isn't interpreting anything in that command line (the
variable assignment is interpreted by make itself), so the command is
fine.  Maybe the sources aren't completely installed?  If I were trying
to exercise my psychic technical support powers, I might guess that the
system makefiles weren't installed.

Question to the original poster: how did you install the sources?
