On any of the files in the source directory in the archives, you simply need to unpack them, cd into the newly created directory (in this case the directory "Monitor") and type "make" in a Terminal or Shell window. The messages you received are from trying to execute the contents of the file "Makefile" as shell commands. The file called "Makefile" actually contains instructions for the program "make" (type "man make" in a Terminal window to see more info on "make"). gerrit
