make problem

[stathisx]

when i try to install a program and after ./configure i type make i get this:
bash: make :command not found
i've downloaded make command,but requires other files.how do i install it?

[Armage]

MAKE should be listed as a program under software in YAST.

Or get the file from:

http://www.gnu.org/directory/devel/build/make.html

What other files does it require??

i got make but when i try to install i must type make again so it;s not installed..
what to do?

[Muser]

possibly the configure script found errors? run it again and see if it gives any error messages. i've found sometimes when ./configure isn't run successfully make doesn't either. and what do you mean you need to run make twice?

[stathisx]

i mean in order to install make command i have to type ./configure and then make.but make does not exist.that what i mean..

[jasonlambert]

do it via RPM...
