Diane,

This looks like a more generic problem.  If make were using your rule, it
would have generated *two* commands: one to make power2.o from power2.c,
and another to make power2 from power2.o.  Since it goes directly from
power2.c to power2, it might not be recognizing your rule.  Do you perhaps
have a DOS line ending after power2.o in your rule?  Do you use spaces?
Make is very particular about tabs in just the right places.  Does your
makefile work on Unix?
