What you typed makes no sense to me. What are you trying to achieve by typing make in no particular directory ?
Typically you need the ‘base-developement pattern’ if you wish to build apps, and you need to navigate to the directory where a tarball has been untar’d and only then, if there is an appropriate install file, after ./configure, does one type make. I have no idea as to what you are doing here. Perhaps you could enlighten us ?
