You've to install the package called "make" :)

when u install a program from source u should type :
./configure
make
su
<your password>
make install

but u should always read the install file

its easier for u to download it from http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=index

or easier still is from YAST and u could add online repositories to YAST so it can install not only from the cd's but from the repositories as well

i allready have a program called make and used that to get that far in the installation.

I installed this software by typing

./configure
make
su
(PASSWORD)
make install

and it's that make install thats not working.


this is how the read me said to do it.

i may browse to see if there is a RPM for this program
