Answer 1

You simply need to install make!

RHEL-based:

yum install make

Debian-based

apt-get install make

Answer 2

I had the same problem after upgrading to OS X Lion. I updated X Code to 4.1 and everything was better!

Answer 3

I had the same problems after a Time Machine update. Installing Xcode and the along coming developer tools fixed that issue.

Answer 4

FYI, you need to run the "Install Xcode" app if you downloaded it from the Appstore on a Lion in order to finish the install. Seems silly, but I missed it.

Answer 5

Same issue aftering updating to Mountain Lion. You need to get the new command line tools and run:

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer 

Src: Upgrading to Mountain Lion and XCode 4 broke my "make"?

If after this you still get an error like this:

make: /usr/bin/gcc-4.2: No such file or directory

A symlink will sort out that issue:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.2

As one of the comments on this post states.

It might not be the best solution but it works, there's surely something else to it.

Answer 6

If you have Mountain Lion and XCODE 4.4.1 you have to go here https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action and download the command line tool (it's free so you don't have to pay for iOS or MAC developer program) to download this tool.

It works for me.
