NO MAKE COMMAND? What's up with that?

[cheapbastard]

I am in the beginning steps of the KERNEL-HOWTO and when I try to run 'make xconfig', I get the error 'bash: make: command not found'

I am running RedHat 7, with kernel v.2.2.16, attempting to recompile with v.2.4.0
How do I get that command? Is there an alternative? :confused:

run a search on www.rpmfind.net (http://www.rpmfind.net) for make and see what you come up with.

Thanks, I've got it. :D

If you don't have make, you might not have the standard C/C++ headers to make the kernel as well...I believe you'll need glibc and libc++...can anyone verify this?

I would suggest installing the entire development files in your Linux CD. It's the only way to be safe especially since a lot of software isn't in C code but in Perl and Python as well.
