/usr/bin/make exists but won't run?

I have the September developer package installed. I have a file /usr/bin/make, but if I type make at the command line I get "command not found". Other commands in /usr/bin (such as who and whoami) work. What am I missing / what do I need to do to install software that's not already in precompiled binaries?
 
Have you tried typing the whole path (/usr/bin/make) to see if you can access it that way? It seems odd to me that you wouldn't be able to access it at all, but trying the whole path is worth a shot. I'd seriously recommend an upgrade to the April tools as well, but since Jaguar is so close it may not make sense to wait for such a large download if you're using dialup.
 
You might also want to check the file ownership and permissions of the file to make sure you have access to it, and that it's executable.

hth,
