You can't compile make without a C compiler. Heck, you can't compile the C compiler without a C compiler!! It's not written in assembly you know... and if it were, how would you compiler the assembler?? Basically, you have to go get an already-built binary package for the compiler and install that; every Linux distribution under the sun has these so there's no need to build it yourself. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
