Question about the make: command.
 
I went to install the latest version of xmms for Mandrake 10 and when I went to make: the source (because there is no *.rpm for it) it said that the makefile couldn't be found. So I went to the directory and I could clearly see the Makefile. Why did it return this error?

Did you run the configure script? Usually compiling and installing software goes
Code:
./configure
make
make install

Yes, I did exaxtly that, but I think at the bottom, it said there was a problem finding a C compiler. Sorry, I just remembered that (I'm away from my computer right now). Do you know where I can get one for this version Linux?

gcc is the standard compiler used by Linux. It should have come with your disto. Install that and try again.
