how do i install make on my server?

[TooTallNate]

Well I have no idea what distro your using so idk. Use google. Closing.

I just saw this exact error, and remedied it by doing unset MAKE before running node-gyp. It seems that the presence of a MAKE environment variable causes something to go wrong. FWIW, I saw this on a relatively up-to-date Linux 2.6 machine with the full gcc/make/autotools stack installed, while installing node-fs-ext from git on node v0.10.0.

It looks like there may be a minor issue here, but I'm not 100% sure. Happy to help reproduce if needed.

This worked for me on Ubuntu 14.04.4 (Digital Ocean)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

This worked for me on Centos 7
