Hi
Im attempting to install mongrel using gem, i have:
gem 1.0.1
ruby 1.8.6
when i run sudo gem install mongrel
i get the following message:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mongrel:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb install mongrel
creating Makefile

make
sh: make: command not found


Gem files will remain installed in
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fastthread-1.0.1 for inspection.
Results logged to
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fastthread-1.0.1/ext/fastthread/gem_make.out

I have checked google but not found anything to solve my problem,
could anyone help me?
Im using linux (foresight 2)
Thanks
