not picking up the GNU version of make

[sonal kumar]

Hi team,

I am new to unix,and need your advice on the below.
I am using aix5.3 and have installed make-3.82 on the server.
I need to use gmake for configuring and installing a package ,but it is
giving error at the below

address@hidden:/usr/tmp/xymon-4.3.2*
*# ./configure.server*
*
*
*Configuration script for Xymon*
*
*
*This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon*
*
*
*Checking your make-utility*
*GNU make is required to build Xymon.*
*If it is available as "gmake", run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake
./configure.server'*

I checked the code where its causing the error and tee the output
*CODE:*
*if test "$MAKE" = ""; then*
*        MAKE=make*
*fi*
*echo "Checking your make-utility"*
*MAKEVER=`$MAKE -version 2>&1 | head -n 1 | awk '{print $1 " " $2}'`*
*if test "$MAKEVER" != "GNU Make"*
*then*
*        echo "GNU make is required to build Xymon."*
*        echo "If it is available as \"gmake\", run configure as:
'MAKE=gmake $0'"*
*        exit 1*

TEE OUTPUT
*/usr/bin/gmake: Not a recognized flag: v*
*usage: make [-einqrst] [-k|-S] [-d[A|adg[1|2]mstv]] [-D variable] [-f
makefile ] [-j [jobs]] [variable=value ...] [target ...# which gmake*

Its not picking up the GNU version of make,I have alreadys set the gmake
environment variable etc..

*export MAKE=/usr/bin/gmake*

address@hidden:/usr/bin*
*# which gmake*
*/usr/bin/gmake*
address@hidden:/usr/bin*
*# ls -lrta *make**
