Error while compiling MySQL - 'No targets specified and no makefile...

[ScoobyDood]

When I get to the part when you type 'make' I get this error:
No targets specified and no makefile found.

I'm very new to Linux and just started to get this whole compiling thing to work. Please help. Computers - Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em! Check this out:

It sounds like you might be in the wrong directory. Most of the time you don't need to change after ./configure while other times you do. Look for the directory that has makefile in it.
