The PS2 toolchain needs fixing. The make supplied with gcc has for years now been gmake, but the toolchain keeps looking for something called "gmake" despite the fact that gmake was made the regular make LONG ago. If you wish to suppress the error, just make a symbolic link to regular make for gmake until someone fixes the toolchain.

Can you tell us what "enviroment" are you using ?

Under Linux, Windows (using Cygwin) ?
I assure you that the toolchain doesn't work (without major fussing around) under cygwin...

I tried sucessfully under latest Debian Linux, but days ago the toolchain was updated (in order to work with gcc4.x, even building fine under Debian) and I'm not sure if still build right under Debian. The person who updated reported that it works under Ubuntu.

I which I can build it under cygwin but I had enough of it ...

I'm using Xubuntu 7.04 on an older laptop. I installed all the packages recommended for OSX along with pkg-config and geany (a nice, light-weight IDE). Both the PS2 and PSP toolchains compiled and installed without a hitch.

The OSX directions work just as well in linux... they're both similar development systems after all. Just use synaptic in Ubuntu to install the packages (it automatically handles dependencies as well).

Xubuntu is Ubuntu for lower-end systems. It uses XFCE instead of Gnome or KDE, and tries to keep the system requirements down. It's nice on laptops and older computers.
