Description:
------------
When I execute the configure command, it works fine and I get the "Thank you for using PHP" message. I'm using the following configure options:

./configure '--prefix=/usr/local/lsws/lsphp5' '--with-mysqli=mysqlnd' '--with-mysql=mysqlnd' '--with-zlib' '--with-gd' '--with-freetype-dir' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-iconv' '--with-curl' '--with-openssl' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos' '--with-litespeed' '--with-libdir=/lib64' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-tidy' '--enable-soap'

Then, I execute make and I get:

Makefile:267: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Could you show us lines 260-270 (with line numbers please) of the Makefile that 
was generated?

Here are lines 260 - 270 of the Makefile:

260:litespeed: $(SAPI_LITESPEED_PATH)
261:
262:$(SAPI_LITESPEED_PATH): $(PHP_GLOBAL_OBJS) $(PHP_BINARY_OBJS) $(PHP_LITESPEED_OBJS)
263:	$(BUILD_LITESPEED)
264:
265:install-litespeed: $(SAPI_LITESPEED_PATH)
266:	@echo "Installing PHP LitSpeed binary:   $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir)/"
267:    @$(INSTALL) -m 0755 $(SAPI_LITESPEED_PATH) $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir)/lsphp
268:
269:cgi: $(SAPI_CGI_PATH)
270:

I noticed line 267 had four spaces instead of a tab. I replaced the four spaces with a tab and now it works.
