Installing OpenVPN - Configuring and 'make' problems

[Calculator]

I am installing OpenVPN onto my server running Ubuntu 6.06 (newly installed) which requires the following steps:

./configure
make
make install

However, when I type the 'make' instruction I get the following in my terminal window:

root@Server1:/home/Stuff/lzo-2.02# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
root@Server1:/home/Stuff/lzo-2.02# cd /home/Stuff/openvpn-2.1_beta15/

What is the target?

How do I specify a 'target' using a make command?

Thanks

Do you have "build-essential" installed?
If not try:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Thanks Najand

Problem is that I do not have my install CD available:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Can I get the 'build-essential' from the net?

Thanks

I have installed 'Build essential' however, my "Make" requires a target - can someone please give me some insight into this issue. Thanks

Fixed - I found that I have to run all the commands in sequence. Not just the one that I got stuck on.

Why are you compiling from source? Openvpn is in the repositories. Not sure which one, I'd already gone into Synaptic Settings|Repositories and unchecked CD, checked all others offered, but it's there somewhere.
