Installing make with wget

Question

How can I install make with wget on CentOS? Thanks.

I tried: cd /tmp wget ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/make/make-3.81.tar.gz tar xfz make-3.81.tar.gz cd make-3.81 PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin ./configure patch -p1<make-3.81-cygwin.patch patch -p0<make-3.81-cygwin_MAKE_expansion.patch PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin make PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin make install But it said I had no acceptable C compiler =(

Do you have any specific problem with yum?
Normally you would do yum install make
Or, maybe, sudo yum install make

Wow :-), Ok, i write the standard Make reference here, you take your pick on the source.

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/make/make-3.81.tar.bz2
tar xfj make-3.81.tar.bz2
./configure
make
sudo make install

And, while you are there, might want to reinstall yum too...

Good to hear you have fixed it.

I accidentally removed yum. – John Jun 25 '09 at 5:24

Says I have no acceptable C compiler =( – John Jun 25 '09 at 5:33

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH – John Jun 25 '09 at 5:34

Ehh.... I found that my host has a recover option... so I did that and I have yum back and such. Thanks for the help. – John Jun 25 '09 at 5:42

even if you uninstalled yum, you should still be able to use rpm directly, no? – derobert Jun 25 '09 at 5:59

Just download rpm:

wget http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/CentOS/make-3.81-3.el5.x86_64.rpm

and install it via rpm:

rpm -ivh make-3.81-3.el5.x86_64.rpm
