//Well, the INSTALL file says that the makefile is called 'make' and that after
//you have run ./configure it should be there. However, all I can see are
//makefiles that begin with a capital m. So prehaps the makefile has not been

Erm, nope. make is a program that uses a class of files that are usually
referred to as makefiles (and the actual physical files on your disk often have
the name 'Makefile', with capital) to automate complicated compilation (and
other) processes. So. In your shell, type 'which make', and see what that says.
It should spit out the path to the make executable. If it says something along
the lines of:
make: Command not found.
Then you don't have the make program installed, and you should use rpm to
install it from the cdrom. If it says something along the lines of:
/usr/bin/make
Then you have make installed, and the problem is something else. :)
In general, give the _exact_error_ that you're talking about. 'It doesn't
work.' isn't very informative. What goes wrong, exactly, what does your
computer tell you? (Preferrably cut-copy-paste it into the email...)
Regards and good luck,
Johannes.
