Build Problem

I would like to try the program very much.  However, as I am not familar 
with CVS, so I do the installation in my normal way of installation. I 
download the source tar ball (libmrproject and mrproject).  Uncompress 
it, run the "./configure" command, and "configure" successfully find all 
the utilities need.  But when I run "make", it give the following error:

Making all in mrproject
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/<user>/tmp/libmrproject-0.7/mrproject'
cd . && \
 --prefix=mrp_marshal mrp-marshal.list --body >> xgen-gmc \
&& cp xgen-gmc mrp-marshal.c \
&& rm -f xgen-gmc xgen-gmc~
/bin/sh: --prefix=mrp_marshal: command not found
make[1]: *** [mrp-marshal.c] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/<user>/tmp/libmrproject-0.7/mrproject'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I have searched in the internet for similar problem for 2hr but with no 
success.  Any help would be appreciated.
