Take a look at the README file. There is a good LAMPS howto at:
http://lamps.efactory.de/e-index.shtml

try this

cd /path_to/apache_<version>

you cna copy and paste the next part

./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--enable-shared=max \
--enable-module=rewrite \
--enable-module=so

then type make
then type make install

this is the error when installation , please suggest the solution

Abort !

You will need to install the make package for your distro.

Usually when it says "command not found" it means command not found. You, obviously, don't have make installed. Install it, and then read the README file in the apache directory.
