this is so frusterating! I was attempting to compile nmap from source but after I ran the config script, "make" doesn't work! The console returns command not found. What can I do to fix this problem?

#2 December 6, 2005

just type on a terminal:

sudo apt-get install automake

it should do the trick.

I did that, and it seemed to install automake, but the make command STILL doesn't work.

The only thing I can think of is to get the compliation tools (build-essential) from apt.

Thanks m0biu5! I installed the build-essential and make works now.

Awesome, glad I could help.
