Why the hell can't I find this damn thing if it's standard? All the normal unix things like perl, bash, less, cat, vi &c work on both my boxes, but I cannot find make...

"gnu make mac" will give you hits wich tells you what developer package to install from your CD or DVD. For example:

The reason you cannot find make is probably because they have put it into the developer packages and these are not installed by default.
