Subject: can't compile anymore / Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

I used to compile packages on my system, but didn't compile any for the =
 =

last 6 months.

Now I tried to update package 'esniper' but I repeatedly get the  =

errormessage:

	Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

I didn't modify or input any code, and I assume that the code in the  =

packages is syntactically correct. So I have not the slightest idea, whe=
re  =

this error comes from.

also from every dependent package I got the same errormessage:
	=3D=3D=3D> Creating toolchain wrappers for curl-7.15.5
	Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
	*** Error code 2
likewise from libidn. I resorted to installing the binary packages via

	pkg_add -u

but for esniper I'd like to complie from source to include the latest  =

patches.

Can anybody please assist me in rectifying this Syntax error?

Regards
Thomas
