title: How can I use/install "make" on the Amazon Linux AMI for EC2?
body: <p>I'm a new user of Amazon EC2.</p>
  
  <p>I want to compile the <code>pptpd</code> package on EC2, but receive the following error:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-bsh prettyprint-override"><code>[root@ip-10-112-xxx-xxx /]# /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.2eILT0: line 58: /usr/bin/make: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I searched the entire root directory tree, but <code>make</code> isn't available:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-bsh prettyprint-override"><code>[root@ip-10-112-59-187 /]# find . -name "make"
  ./etc/mail/make
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm wondering whether <code>make</code> is actually installed on the Amazon Linux AMI initially? If not, how do I install it?</p>
