In this case Jan is right: You need GNU make installed to do: ./configure && make && make install Which is the officially supported way of installing GNU tools in general. It not only copies the commands, it also installs man pages as well. >> Hope this makes sense. :-) I understand why you have a dependency on GNU Make, but shouldn't the dependency on gcc be in GNU Make's dependencies and not in GNU Parallel's? /Ole
