You shouldn't need to install GNU make on OS X at all - it's the default make program. ISTR it's not bundled with the base OS but rather with Xcode, the development environment. You won't have any compilers to use make with anyway if you haven't installed Xcode. So: I suspect you need to get the latest version of Xcode and install it, after which you should have GNU make plus a lot of other stuff such as gcc.
Though last I checked Xcode comes on the install DVD, there's often a newer version on the web so I'd go that way if you have the bandwidth.

I am trying to download gnu make from your site, but when I do, I am unable to install the program. The tarred file from your site is a list of directories but no installer. I would appreciate any advice you have on how to install your program on a mac running MAC OS 10.5 (leopard).
Thanks,
