Problem with make menuconfig

when i run make menuconfig i get
"/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r9/.hdepend:320: ***unterminated call to function 'wildcard' :missing '{' . Stop."

i had compiled the kernel a couple times before but always managed to get some options wrong so i decided to use ccache in order to speed things up. I ran emerge ccache and then i added it to my path. i then tried to run make menuconfig and got what it says above. So i unmerged ccache and took it out of the path(i may have messed up here and took something else out too). I ran make menuconfig again and got the same thing, i also tried make clean and make mrproper and they both returned the same thing. I tried restarting and booting off the CD and nothing changed. I tried emerging the system kernel again and and then running make menuconfig and it STILL gave me that error. can someone please help me?

Im getting the same thing now except on like 907. I had just started make dep and had a command wrong so I pushed "crtl+c" and stopped it and now I get the error everytime I try to make something from director /usr/src/linux

Are you absolutely sure you cast "make mrproper"? .hdepend is listed as one of the files that mrproper will kill for you.

Hm.. I get the same thing.. even when running make mrproper but instead of "{" its erroring on ")"

EDIT: I just removed hdepend, and it works!
