I am currently carrying out research in Quantum Physics for my masters degree and am trying to compile some downloaded software on my macbook using x11. I am having trouble using the ' make ' function in x11 as I am told 'Command not Found' whenever i try to use it.

Do I have to install extra x11 add ons in order to use make?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Install the XCode suite of packages...that's the compiler and all related support files.

you can get that by going to the apple developer connection (http://developer.apple.com/). you'll have to register. get XCode 3 if you're using Leopard, and 2.5 (I think) if you still have Tiger.
