error while configuring Qt 4.6.2 on ubuntu - "You don't seem to have 'make' or 'gmake' in your PATH. cannot proceed"

I am trying to install Qt 4.6.2 on ubuntu. When I run the configure script I get the following error message "You don't seem to have 'make' or 'gmake' in your PATH. cannot proceed".

On echo of the PATH variable I get

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

on running the command

$which make , I get

/usr/bin/make

How do I proceed with this issue? I seem to have the make in the path env variable but still the config script throws cannot find make or gmake?

Solution

  • I downloaded the source again. I am able to run configure without any problems. Seems like there was an issue with the earlier source.
