install communications pkg prob (from newbie)

[J. A. Rayn]

I have:

OS:Linux 2.6.22.9-desktop586-1mdv i686
System:Mandriva Linux OneVersion:2008.0KDE:3.5.9

and Octave3 installed

When trying to install the package communications I get the following:


octave:1> pkg install /home/ryan/Desktop/communications-1.0.5.tar.gz
error: the following dependencies where unsatisfied:
   communications needs signal >= 1.0.0
octave:1> pkg install /home/ryan/Desktop/signal-1.0.6.tar.gz
sh: make: command not found
error: 'make' returned the following error:
error: called from `pkg:configure_make' in 
file /usr/share/octave/2.9.16/m/pkg/pkg.m near line 1043, column 2
octave:1>

Any help?
