Hi Yu,
Your track definitions look correct to me. I tried adding "show" to one
of our superTracks here (none of our native superTracks actually use the
setting), and I was able to do a make without errors.
We have recently been making changes to the programs that build the
trackDb table when you run make. You might want to grab the most recent
kent source and try again.
