I take it this is not a debianized source? Often if GNU utilities are installed on non-GNU unices, they get a `g' prepended to their name, so on an SGI machine, you may find gmake (GNU make) together with make (IRIX make), and gtar (GNU tar) together with tar (IRIX tar). I suppose the app you were trying to compile has been developed on a platform that both had a native install and a GNU install. I personally would edit the makefile instead of adding links on my system, but that probably is a matter of taste. HTH, Eric -- E.L.
