Wierd gmake error.

Hi,
 I am getting a wierd gmake errror. Basically I have a process that
runs on regularl basis. This process tries to run some tool on our
libraries. We have a makefile with pattern rule like:
${CACHE_BBS}/.%.$(TOOL).$(VER).tok \
${CACHE_BBS}/.%.$(TOOL).$(VER).$(SPFLG).tok : ${BBS_LIB}/%.a
        $(INS) $(OPTIONS) $? >> $(LOG).$*.$(VER) 2>&1
        touch $@
I know that the dependent library: ${BBS_LIB}/%.a exists. But gmake
fails saying:
* No rule to make target
`/bb/purecache/instage/bbs/lib/.libmtgescrn.purify.0149.tok', needed
by `parallel'.
But there is an implicit rule and the prerequisite exists. What can be
possible reasons for failure?
Thanks,
Sunil.


P.S.:This tool generates huge libraries and needs lots of disk space.
I noticed sometimes that if my disk space is almost full it fails with
this error (because it doesn't have enough space to write the o/p
file). But this is not the case always.
