OpenCV installation error: SyntaxError related to python

Hi, I am trying to install openCV on a remote server, and I keep getting hung up at this error at 98% after running make.

Here is my cmake command

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/jbent1/local/opencv-master -DWITH_IPP=OFF -D WITH_LAPACK=OFF -D BUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON -D PYTHON3_EXECUTABLE=/home/jbent1/local/python/bin/python3 -D PYTHON3_LIBRARIES=/home/jbent1/local/python/lib/libpython3.4m.a -D PYTHONINTERP_FOUND=1 ..

The error message:

    Linking CXX shared library ../../lib/libopencv_videostab.so
[ 98%] Built target opencv_videostab
[ 98%] Generating pyopencv_generated_include.h, pyopencv_generated_funcs.h, pyopencv_generated_types.h, pyopencv_generated_type_reg.h, pyopencv_generated_ns_reg.h

make[2]: *** [modules/python2/pyopencv_generated_include.h] Error 1
make[1]: *** [modules/python2/CMakeFiles/opencv_python2.dir/all] Error 2

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am totally confused by this. Thanks
