RE: Elementary makefile questions

Thanks for the response.

I had problems running step 3 (see below), and wanted to know if my
configuration was correct.

>>>    2. Configure GNU make. It sounds like you've already done this.

This means running the configure script. I did this and got the following
output, which seemed ok:

I ran this and got the following error message:

make  all-recursive
sh: make: not found
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive-am'

I do not know why this message occurred. Could somebody tell me why?

Thanks
