Installing the unixODBC port

Hey guys. I'm relatively new when it comes to installing things to a *nix environment. I'm currently working on a project that require that I be able to read and write to an MS Access file and I have read that unixODBC will help me do that. The problem is that when I try to install it, the make file outputs an error. Also, assuming I get the makefile to work, I will have no idea what to do next.

Since I am working on a java remote terminal, I have no idea how to paste the outputs, but my steps were as followed:

Code:
tar -zxvf unixODBC.tar.gz
cd unixODBC
make

Whereupon the shell spits out:
Code:
Makefile:28: *** missing separator. Stop.

I've read that this means there's a missing tab in the makefile, but I can't seem to find the missing tab.

Please help. I'm completely lost and I've tried gooling as much as could to no avail. I appreciate any help on this.
