I have a set of C program but when I use "make all" to compile, it goes:

/bin/sh: gmake: not found

Is it a path problem? Or do I need to install something?

Thanks for helping.

gmake is the name generally given to GNU make on non-GNU systems, because those systems generally have their own version of make, which works differently. Since Ubuntu is a GNU-based system, you should replace all occurrences of "gmake" in your script by just "make", or create a gmake symlink to make.

Thanks, but how to create a symlink? Is it in the script?

cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s make gmake
