Need help installing GNU make 3.80.0

[AljoshaNL]

Hello,

I'm quite new to Linux (using SuSE 9.1), and I'm stuck with a problem cause i don't have GNU make. So I decided to download the package. It extracted. It configured. I haven't got GNU make on my Linux, as i told you, so i followed the manual and typed the following:


68-226:~/make-3.80 # sh ./build.sh
compiling ar.c...
compiling arscan.c...
compiling commands.c...
compiling default.c...
compiling dir.c...
compiling expand.c...
compiling file.c...
compiling function.c...
compiling getopt.c...
compiling getopt1.c...
compiling implicit.c...
compiling job.c...
compiling main.c...
compiling misc.c...
compiling read.c...
compiling remake.c...
compiling rule.c...
compiling signame.c...
compiling variable.c...
compiling version.c...
compiling vpath.c...
compiling hash.c...
compiling remote-@REMOTE@.c...
gcc: ./remote-@REMOTE@.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
68-226:~/make-3.80 # make
bash: make: command not found

I hope you realize i don't typed the compiling thing :p ;),
Well i searched google and the only thing i got was

" pl> build.sh.in uses a replacement variable called @REMOTE@ to select
pl> which of remote-*.c should be used. This seems to be obsolete with
pl> Makefile.in using @USE_CUSTOMS_FALSE@ and @USE_CUSTOMS_TRUE@
pl> instead.

Hi; this bug has been fixed in the source and the fix will be available
in the next release (see bug #1536 at the Savannah site)."

I'm not a geek so I can't get it how to fix it using that geeky piece of info ... Please help, it would be appreciated, every help.

Oh yeah btw i did check the Savannah site, but nothing usefull happened to me

Thanks in advance,
