Hi Paul

You got me on the right track to fix it - apparently having a comment on 
the same line as the IMAGE_INSTALL += "..." causes it to break. I had 
all of the packates on seperate lines so I could easily comment in or 
out the ones I need and I had comments after a few of them so i could 
keep track of which ones were working and broken...

Thanks for your help!
