Before I go any farther I would really benefit from some clarification, I'm sure this is an asinine problem but we all have to start somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What OS are you running on? If you are running on a Linux distribution you should be able to install/update the make you don't? have on the system.

Linux Flavor	package install command
RedHat, Fedora and friends	yum -y install make
Debian and friends	apt-get install make

Don't remember SUSE and friends, but those should point you in the right direction if you are on a Linux distro. If you are on Solaris things get a bit dicier. As far as Windows goes I don't do windows.
