It might be the case GNU make is installed on your system, but is named something like 'gmake' or 'gnumake' rather than just 'make'. What happens if you run the following? $ gmake --version $ gnumake --version If GNU make is not installed on your system, you can download the latest version from here: <http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.82.tar.gz> For more information about GNU make: <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/> HTH, Stefano ��.n��������+%������w��{.n��������n�r������&��z�ޗ�zf���h���~����������_��+v���)ߣ�
