Re: Installing make

[blue_cowdawg]

Before I go any farther I would really benefit from some clarification, I'm sure this is an asinine problem but we all have to start somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What OS are you running on? If you are running on a Linux distribution you should be able to install/update the make you don't? have on the system.

Linux Flavor	package install command
RedHat, Fedora and friends	yum -y install make
Debian and friends	apt-get install make

Don't remember SUSE and friends, but those should point you in the right direction if you are on a Linux distro. If you are on Solaris things get a bit dicier. As far as Windows goes I don't do windows.

I apologize for not specifying... I'm running max OSX v 10.7 I have access to a linux cluster but would prefer to stay on the local machine

Googling for "make on OSX" results in the advice

You will have to install the "Developer Tools" that are provided as optional packages in OS X installation disks.

Reinstalling Xcode with all options checked was one of the first things I tried. Perhaps a restart is necessary? this is the only reason I can think of, I am fairly certain that I do have the developer tools installed.

Developer's Tools for Mac probably

I think I may have figured it out... I have Snow leopard Xcode installed on the new lion osx ... somehow the perl versions aren't synced.
