Need help with awk syntax errors

config.status: creating Makefile
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:2: S["/; s/!.*/"]=LTLIBOBJS!%!_!# ""
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:2:                          ^ syntax error
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:3: S["/; s/!.*/"]=LTLIBOBJS!%!_!# ""
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:3:                              ^ syntax error
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:3: S["/; s/!.*/"]=MAKE_MAN!%!_!# ""
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:3:                         ^ syntax error
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:4: S["/; s/!.*/"]=MAKE_MAN!%!_!# ""
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:4:                             ^ syntax error
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:5: S["/; s/!.*/"]=BUILD_POPT!$(popt_OBJS)%!_!# "$(popt_OBJS)"
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:5:                                           ^ syntax error
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:5: S["/; s/!.*/"]=CC_SHOBJ_FLAG!-o $@%!_!# "-o $@"
awk: ./confYwuPmF/subs.awk:5:                                  ^ invalid char '@' in expression
config.status: error: could not create Makefile

I'm sorry, this is probably a boring question, but I guess someone who knows awk solves it in 2 minutes. And I just can't figure it out ...

edit

I was able to run this on a different system, ... So consider the problem as solved

My guess is that it is not awk that's the problem, but the program that tries to generate the awk script. Since it contains stuff like S["/; s/!.*"], my money is on sed.

Do you have (GNU) sed installed on the machine?
