Trouble with make

[Rimshot]

I am running kernel 2.2.13-4mdk and have downloaded linux-2.4.0.tar.gz and extracted it to /usr/src/linux with no errors.

I am now trying to run 'make menuconfig' or 'make config' but I get the same error message with either.

Message is;
bash: make: command not found

What do I have to do to be able to upgrade to the 2.4 kernel?

TIA,

Its a simple one. YOu need to have the make executable in your path statement. If you did a su to root make sure you used the - so thatt he profile is read.

Do a echo $PATH and see if /usr/bin/ is in there. If it is do a which make and see if it finds it.

I also could be that the 'make' package is not installed.

echo %PATH has correct enviroment. /usr/sbin does not contain a 'make' file. How do I get 'make' on the system?

Thanks for the info; it got me pointed in the right direction. Found addition information on make searching the forum. Looks like I am not the only one who has run into this problem. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing". Make was not on my system. Being new I did not install every module. Probably the developmental tools should have been installed. I'll see if I can figure out how to get make on the system.

Thanks for the help.
