Makefile error in Pythia - c++

Question

When I use the Makefile in the examples folder of Pythia8185 I get an error (ME below!):
ME: This is mymain.cc
#include "Pythia8/Pythia.h" // Include Pythia headers.
using namespace Pythia8; // Let Pythia8:: be implicit.
int main() { // Begin main program.
// Set up generation.
Pythia pythia; // Declare Pythia object
pythia.readString("Top:gg2ttbar = on"); // Switch on process.
pythia.readString("Beams:eCM = 7000."); // 7 TeV CM energy.
pythia.init(); // Initialize; incoming pp beams is default.
// Generate event(s).
pythia.next(); // Generate an(other) event. Fill event record.
return 0;
} // End main program with error-free return.
This is the Makefile before edit:

After edit I add mymain: just after main80 and then I write make mymain and get the error as follows:
I edit the Makefile and add mymain to the list:
# Create an executable for one of the normal test programs
main00 main01 main02 main03 main04 main05 main06 main07 main08 main09 main10 \

main31 main32 main33 main34 main35 main36 main37 main38 main39 main40 \
main80 mymain: \
as suggested in the worksheet example page 4.
Then when I write make mymain in the Terminal I get the following error:
*** No rule to make target `../lib/archive/libpythia8.a', needed by `mymain'. Stop.
It should be noted that everything worked fine yesterday, I really don't know how to proceed. I deleted all pythia folders and untarred them again but the problem remains. Anyone know what the solution might be? I'm on a MacBook.
Is there a way to uninstall something like pythia completely and reinstall it? It seems some file in some cache is the problem
