/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

edit

There must be something misconfigured with this system because the same code builds on other systems no problem. Here's the full output. Using Ubuntu 14.04 and the latest ros-indigo packages from the ppa. This is a fresh install on this system. Any ideas what it might be?

Here's the cfg file in question. It starts with a shebang as expected.

#!/usr/bin/env python
PACKAGE = "velodyne_pointcloud"
