    That error would suggest that your "EXTRAVERSION" is not correct, or at least
    is not what the installer expects it to be.
    I have never run into this so i am guessing, just "HOW" did you define your
    "EXTRAVERSION" number or name.
    Please cut and paste the whole line from the Makefile in your next mail.
