That '\r' looks suspiciously like a carriage return. Have you verified that your file is using the UN*X-style line-feed ("\n") instead of
WINDOWS-style carriage-return/line-feed pair ("\r\n")?
There are a number of ways to convert files between the two delimiter formats including emacs, dos2unix, unix2dos, etc. See "man dos2unix" for more details.

What i actually downloaded the .zip version instead of the .tar.gz.
The .zip version is actually packaged for Windows users, hence the
extra line feeds.
I appreciated your answer Ed, it led me to the explanation.
Stupid me.
