It's a mystery why you're asking about SuSe here, but the obvious
answer could be that make doesn't exist on that system.  Lots of
Linux distributions that are binary package based (RPM, etc) don't
install a development environment by default.  I don't know how people
survive in a world without make, but apparently some do.

$ echo $PATH

Is /usr/bin in there?

Yea I was a bit confused as to what he wanted help with... by default
SuSE does not install development packages of any kind, I had to go
search around in YaST2's package manager for KDE's Quanta Plus the
other day... If it won't install a simple html editor when you do a
default install you can forget about make.

Well ... this is freebsd list, so I don't suppose you should be asking 
that question here. 

Short answer is that you do not have make installed or it is not in your 
path (probably the former).
