You should scan the complete log for error messages. That a PDF was 
produced does not imply there were no errors (pdflatex is run with 
-interaction=nonstopmode), but a non-zero exit code usually means there 
were.

This is probably unrelated. Maybe the reported line number does not 
match the "physical" lines in the Makefile because some recipe lines are 
split. I believe the error happens in the first pdflatex run. You could 
call make with --trace to see more (force printing the recipe lines 
during execution), but you should really check the LaTeX log. I guess 
there is a problem with one of your LaTeX installations.
