Python-2.3.3 install -> no "make"

[Frank Dieckmann]

Hi!

I 've tryed to install Python-2.3.3 under SuSE 8.0:
Unpacking was fine,
../configure seems to be too,
but there was no make-file (only "Makefile" but that seems to be something
else).
What have I forgotten or which fault did I made?
How can I handle this problem, what do I have to do to install Python?

Kind regards!

Frank

If you don't have "make" then you need to install some development
packages. "make" is the utility that uses the Makefile to build the
software.

Thank you, Steve!
I have shown that I am a newbe with Linux...
Your hint was right!
I installed 'make' and than insalled Python successfully.
Juchee, like we say in German (something like 'Yippee')
