Im new to unix so work with me here, thanks.

For some reason when I type 'make' like I would on Linux or my shell accts. (Im in Unix terminal, a utility on Mac osX) and it doesnt recognize the commands?

Make not exist?
I gotta install something?

help plz.
 
Possibly make is not in your patch.

The which command will tell you if the system
can find the command your are tring to execute
and where it is located.

which ls
which make

If the you get the message not found,
then you need to update your PATH variable.
Something like this
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin

then try
which make

What Unix are you running? Several commercial Unices (SCO OSR5, Solaris etc.) do NOT automatically include compilers and related tools.
