The problem is related to the fact that probably you have an expired license of the C30 student compiler.
When the license is expired, the compiler prints out a message on standard output.
Erika uses the option of the gcc compiler to generates the dependency files, which outputs to standard output.
When you compile with an expired license, then the expired license message simply corrupts the compiler output

...
The issue can be solved using the C30 compiler recompiled from microchip sources (currently of the series 2.0x)
