type: "which make"
and it will tell you if the "make" command is in your $PATH.
if it's not -- and it should be -- try typing:
/usr/bin/make
to check out your path, type: echo $PATH
and see if "/usr/bin" is included in that string. if it's not,
edit your .bashrc file and add "/usr/bin" to where your PATH
is set, or add a line:
export PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH"
this assumes you use bash...
