[Xorp-users] Very basic questions

[Stevan Grbić 05/0486]

Hi everyone,
I'm pretty new at Linux and XORP. I have downloaded XORP 1.6, unziped it
and followed instructions for compiling, but I get stuck at gmake..
Here's what I get typing into terminal:

grbic at ubuntu:~$ cd Downloads
grbic at ubuntu:~/Downloads$ cd xorp-1.6
grbic at ubuntu:~/Downloads/xorp-1.6$ ./configure

gmake: command not found
grbic at ubuntu:~/Downloads/xorp-1.6$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
grbic at ubuntu:~/Downloads/xorp-1.6$ 


what should I do? (as I saw in getting starting,I should have gmake by
default..)

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10(karmic) with 2.6.31-17 linux kernel and 2.28.1
gnome..

Also, I'm planing to run, XORP in Sun's Virtualbox to examine XORP
(&network) basics, what should you recommend me?

Thank you in advance!
