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.

sudo apt-get install make Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package make is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'make' has no installation candidate

Themake
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 whereapt-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
