Hi,
I need a little help. I'm new to linux and I have a wacom tablet that I want to get working. I found a driver and everything but when I type "make" into my console, after typing ./configure, it says: "bash: make: command not found". Please help me!

jcbparry - I have split your question into it's own thread.

Install the make package for your distro?

I guess that ./configure gave some errors (something like checking for make: no). It's not suffiecient to run ./configure, you also need to check what it reports.

Which distro do you use?

make : command not found

when i type "make" in the terminal, it complains that
"bash: make: command not found"

i am using Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake).

Have you tried installing make?

ymtoh 11-21-2006 12:00 AM

yeap.. now make is available... as i have install it myself

use this to install make : sudo apt-get install make

and it seems that make is not preinstalled in ubuntu 6.06... which is very weird

Indeed there are no compilers, make, autoconf what-so-ever installed on a fresh ubuntu install.

sudo apt-get install make won't get you there. You need to use the following command:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
That will install make, gcc etc.
