make: No targets specified and no makefile found...

Hellò. In many programs I try to install, it happens that after the configure command I launch also make, but it returns this message, as I haven't installed make. I checked everything and it is installed with many other similar. So, why programs are giving this message? Also launching configure gives me all OK (so it means it found necessary dependencies). Can someone explain me whay? A clear example of this moment is trying install Mutella...
Thanks

have you installed the build-essential package?
I'm sure your in the right directory if you issued command "./configure" but if you used just "configure" somethings fishy cause it shouldn't be able to find a configure script in the path/s

this is a tough one

got anymore info?
