I have a new installation of Red Hat 7 which does not recognize the "make" command. I had this problem with a previous installation of the same OS. Does anyone know why this is and how I may be able to retrieve this nifty compiler? Thanks for the help, I am such a newbie it is disgusting.

Most likely you've choosen the workstation install option and make was not installed because is do not belong there...simply look it up on your redhat cdrom and install it.I can't remeber what else it requries but rpm will let you know ... Hope this helps.

make isn't actually a compiler. You need to install the development tools and libraries. Once you've done that, you should be able to compile source which uses Makefiles.

Is ther a way to install any or all of the development tools, including all of their dependencies, without reinstalling the software?
