I'm on version 3.81 too and this works fine for me.

Chances are the automatic dependency generation didn't work in your 
environment. Please do a 'make clean' and then post the output of 'make' 
in the original version. Also, let us know a) your platform, b) which hg 
revision of the rabbit sources you are compiling, and c) what version of 
Erlang you have installed.

Matthias.
