So I've installed XCode on Snow Leopard. Why am I getting messages like this:

sudo: make: command not found

What do I need to do to resolve this issue?

Solution:

I'm not sure what happened, but I was able to fix the problem by downloading the newest version of XCode and reinstalling it. Now I can see that I have make installed correctly.

$ which make
/usr/bin/make

When you installed the Apple Developer tools, did you also install the "Unix Development" package? From the Xcode 3.2.2 developer tools for Mac SDK 10.6 and iPhone SDK 3.2 README file:

Installation

The Xcode and iPhone SDK installer provides six options for configuring the installation from the “Customize...” button:

...

  • UNIX Development. Command-line tools used for UNIX-based development. Its components are always placed in /usr - only one version installed at a time.

I believe that is what triggers putting the utilities into /usr/bin ...

Make sure your PATH contains the directory that includes make.
