ERROR: Using install-module.pl requires that you install "make".

I need to install make on my ubuntu on AWS EC2. How can I do that ?
I could finally install build-essential also successfully.

# make

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

The make package definitely should be available; I have version 3.81-8.1ubuntu1 on my system. You might have a problem with your /etc/apt/sources.list, which defines where apt-get looks for packages.

Run the command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Chances are you will need things like gcc to actually do the building so you might as well install those as well. The build-essential package will install other tools used along with make.

It definitely looks like make is installed on your box. The reply you are getting is actually an error generated by make, complaining that it can't file the Makefile (which would tell it what needs to be done)

Is there any Makefile.pl in the module you are trying to install? If so, try:

$ perl Makefile.pl

$ make
