Re: GNU Make Installation Help

[Tommy Nordgren]

Are you SURE your system has a working C compiler? I've seen a  
comment in a book about
the GNU Autotools, that Sun systems are often shipped without a  
working C compiler :(.
To test, try running the command cc manually. If you don't have a  
working C compiler, it will
tell you so. Also try the commands:
find / -name cc
find / -name gcc
These commands will tell you if they are available, but not in your  
default $PATH
