Thank you,

I am such a rookie. I am used to these things being pre-installed on my
system. I was not sure if NetBSD would be able to use the regular gmake
without any modifications. I guess I thought it couldn't. That shows how
illiterate I am when it comes to NetBSD. Thanks again, I will do as you
suggest.
