Linux is an operating system, and dosen't come with _any_ programs as
such. The programs that linux is distributed with mostly are the GNU
tools from the Free Software Foundation. GNU definately do make a make
(sorry). Your system most likely has one. Chances are, your path's not
set up to find it. (make usually resides at /usr/bin/make)

Check your path. 
echo $PATH

if /usr/bin/make isn't included, in bash do
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/make

in csh
setenv PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/make

now 
which make
should find make for you.

Failing this, try

locate make
(assuming you've run updatedb lately)

or (failsafe)
find / -name make -print

if the last comes up blank, you'll need to install it. You should find
it on a sunsite, eg sunsite.unc.edu or sunsite.anu.edu.au
