The path to the link must also be encountered earlier in your PATH
environment variable. So say you had a PATH like the following:
# echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
Then what you might want to do is create your own directory
(/home/me/bin), add it to the beginning of your path in your shell's
rc file (or just on the command line if you only want to do this
once); for bash:
# export PATH="/home/me/bin:$PATH"
Then in /home/me/bin, create the link (again, this is for bash)
# cd /home/me/bin
# ln -s `type -p gmake` ./make
You'll probably want
# ln -s `which gmake` ./make
if you use tcsh, for instance.
Just make sure those are back ticks (`) and not apostrophes ('). Then
do
# make --version
GNU Make version ....
If you the two magic words "GNU make," then it worked.
