I actually don't know if this is a makefile... well...

The expected way:
--snip--
$ make clean
$ make

Just so I understand - the problem here is that the makefile fails to build the sample
you attached, and that the error message doesn't make any sense, right?

I may or may not have time to do triage on this in the next few days, but hopefully
I will.

Reported by shiblon on 2011-11-10 22:56:36

[shiblon]

yes. on the one hand, the error message is not very verbose; at the other hand, it should
just compile ;-)

but as the workaround described is very simple, this issue is not that important

[shiblon]

So, I downloaded your attachment, ran "make" and everything just worked.

I'm unable to reproduce your error.  Do you have some log or something that has this
mysterious REQ line in it?  I can't seem to get it to show up on my machine (Mac, using
pdflatex).

[shiblon]

I just attached the whole directory after I ran "make".
