Building Python 2.7.2 fails with “No rule to make target ‘Parser/printgrammar.o’”

Question

I am trying to build Python 2.7.2 (the latest 2.x release) on Scientific Linux 5.5, which is a derivative of Red Hat Linux. I ran

./configure --prefix=$HOME && make

and the configure script ran fine, but once make starts I get

make: *** No rule to make target `Parser/printgrammar.o', needed by `Parser/pgen'.  Stop.

Any idea what might be causing this?

根据@Ashish Ararwal所说，“请确保您没有意外关闭内置规则，例如，使用-r选项make 。”
