How-to build/make/install

{disclaimer}...I've been using FreeBSD for about a year, so while I
consider myself still a n00b, I'm just not a complete n00b :) OS:
6.1-RELEASE

I really need some help building a package for install (if that's the
correct terminology).

hobbitmon is the next re-named version of big brother
http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/

I have downloaded the tar.gz file into /usr/local/etc
I extracted the tar using:

        don-bsd# tar xvfz file.tar.gz

then I cd in to the directory
        don-bsd# cd /usr/local/etc/hobbit-4.2.0

The directory listing is as follows:

        don-bsd# pwd
        /usr/local/etc/hobbit-4.2.0
        
        don-bsd# ls -la
        total 164

        don-bsd#

The README says to simply
        don-bsd# ./configure
        don-bsd# make
        don-bsd# make install

However, when I type ./configure  from /usr/local/etc/hobbit-4.2.0
        
        don-bsd# ./configure

        Configuration script for Hobbit
        
        This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Hobbit
        
        Checking your make-utility
        GNU make is required to build Hobbit.
        If it is available as "gmake", run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake
./configure.server'

Help please, Thanks
