missing seperator

hi do any one have the solution to this prob

i m just into the kernel module prog so i make the hello program and make its make file as simple as
makefile


KERNELDIR = /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6/include/

CFLAGS = -D__KERNEL__ -I$(KERNELDIR) -O -Wall

all: hello.o

clean:
rm -r hello.o

it is giving error

makefile:15: *** missing separator. Stop.

line 15th is last line
rm -r hello.o

i check all options what is this error for??
Confused

Did you used TAB before rm command? make is very sensitive to this, ie. you can't just cut and paste makefile commands.

that is about the spaces in the make file we have to use tab because it take spaces as a character .
i used tab and the prob is solved
thanx
