I recently installed a new version of make (the package was called gmake.tgz) and
now when I make something the program says:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.  

although the makefile is present. I can force make to use Makefile, however
makefiles in lower directories experience the same problem. I tried installing
the make-3.74 version (I had to type make -f Makefile to get it compiled) but
I still experience the same problem.

I'm probably doing something terribly wrong. Does anybody have an idea what
that is?

P.S. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate newsgroup to post this question
but I wasn't able to find a newsgroup concerning make :) (my day).
