Problem Installing Intel Performance Counter Monitor on FreeBSD

Hi,

Having difficulty installing the Intel Performance Counter Monitor on Free BSD 10.1-STABLE (super cool looking tool btw thank you for solving the "top" problem!). According to the How To file in the zip download from the Intel website we should "just type make in the main PCM directory". When I do that here is what happens:

How can we get this to work?

Thanks,

Solved this. On FreeBSD run gmake instead of make.

Not sure how this compares to linux, but if gmake is not used on Linux then the FREEBSD_HOWTO.TXT file included in the download from Intel should specify running this command. Otherwise the LINUX_HOWTO.TXT file included in the download from Intel should specify running gmake.

Also, some sort of manual would be nice. I see some links to articles on how to do specific things from the main page but a real manual would be awesome.

Thanks!
