math.c:37:13: error: missing binary operator before token "("

make: *** [math.o] Error 1

Just open math.c [Don’t locate any where just use vi math.c from the same same location where you are executing the command ‘make’]

And look at the line

“#elif define(ERANGE)” it should be “#elif defined(ERANGE)”

Note: not “define”, it is “defined” => d is missing in this phrase

Modify it and again run the same command “make”
