I got that error, too, on a fresh Debian installation, despite being able to make that driver flawlessly a few times before.

Some problems were gone when I edited the os/linux/config.mk file as per the README file included in the driver folder, but then, new ones occured, considering something about the DATE and TIME functions.

I found that the solution is to install package firmware-ralink that also contains drivers for your USB Wireless dongle.

On my Debian Jessie installation, it said that firmware-ralink package is now included in the firmware-non-free package.
