HPUX hobbit client install problem

I created the hobbit user and untarred the hobbit tar file. I then ran
./configure.client and rfeceived the following error:

 
Configuration script for Hobbit client

 
This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Hobbit

 
Checking your make-utility

GNU make is required to build Hobbit.

If it is available as "gmake", run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake
./configure.client'

 
I have gcc installed and I can see the make program in /usr/bin.
