you have either of the following scenarios:

1) you dont have the make utility. try to look for it in the following
directories

   /usr/bin  /usr/local/bin

   if its not still there then install the package (if you dont have the
installation cd then go to rpmfind.net adn search for 'make').

2) you have it and dont have execute permissions. if this is the case then
change the file attrributes by using the chmod command (i think you have to be
root).

   chmod 766 /location/of/the/file/make

3) make exists in your system with the appropriate permission but isnt in your
path. try adding the following in your .bashrc file:

    export PATH=$PATH:<insert directory containing make here>

or if make is (usually ) installed in /usr/bin , reverse the order of $PATH
and the directory containing make.
