Make command error

[TotalPenguin]

Well, When I try to install an application I extract the zip or whatever.. then open a Terminal, browse to that folder and I write

./configure 
make

but when I write make it shows me an error something like

No Target File

[v0id]

That's a common error. It can be because you haven't specified the target in one of the statements, and also because syntax errors. Post your makefile.

This already happened like 3 times. With 3 different softwares.. I'll post one when I boot Linux.

Did ./configure actually finish executing without errors?

Oh, I thought you were messing with your own makefiles. What I wrote before can still be the cause, but dependencies, like Jordan noted, is more likely to be the problem. The configure-script has to run without any errors (at least, not any critical errors).
