Dear Eero,

Thank you for the help, installed both make and build-essentials.
Just wanted to ask why was I not able to compile the make-3.81 source code and how did using apt-get resolve the problem.

Thanking you,

Simple: you need make to compile make, but it wasn't installed on your
system. apt-get is one of Debian's tools to manage software and the
command 'apt-get install make' does what you would expect.

your system was missing "make" software, usually it is required to
build software..

Just for the record, make includes a small script to build the sources
without make installed

Thanks for that. While writing, I was asking myself how to bootstrap
make. :)
