There is missing a ( at beginning of line? You should get an
"unbalanced parantheses" message.

How did you invoke emacs? If you start it from some graphical MacOS
environment, may PWD _is_ undefined (I know nothing about MacOS)? Did you cd into
/Users/mahan/src/PPP/ppp-master/pppd in a shell and start emacs from
the command line from there?
