I have a more recent version of debian installed now and it has make in with it. I still get command not found though. I ran whereis make and got: /usr/bin/make /usr/X11R6/bin/ make /usr/bin/X11/make /usr/share/man/man1/make.1.gz . I ran which make and got: /usr/bin/make and I ran echo $PATH and got: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11 so now I am wondering if it is the makefile that needs to know where make is to be found? thanks for your help with this basic question.

"make" is installed and working properly. It looks in the current directory for a file named "makefile" or "Makefile" and does what that file tells it to do. You have no such file in that directory and you haven't told make what else to do so it gives up. Show us the contents of that directory. What, exactly, are you trying to do? -- John Hasler jhasler(a)newsguy.com Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA

Did you do ./configure before make?
