Type this at your shell prompt: echo $PATH You will get back a line that should look something like this: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin This is a list of directories that the shell will search when you type in a command. If you get back something more like: /bin then you have to set your path. This is usually done in your .profile startup script, with something like this: export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin You can just type this at the shell, too. If this isn't the problem, you need to find out if make is actually installed anywhere. Usually it's in usr/bin/make. You can look for it using the find command: find / -name make -print Hope this helps. > I guess I am one of those sub-Linux people, already dependent on the Install > shield like convenience of rpms.
