Just telling people "what happened" is *NOT* enough for intelligent
diagnosis of the  problem.  You also have to tell people  WHAT YOU DID
that provoked the error you encountered.

That said, dusting off my crystal ball -- which appears to be *working*
today -- you simply typed "make" at the shell prompt.

Try typing "make all" and see what happens then.
