cannot install programs

[Sam]

When I try to install a program, the Konsole always give me always an answer
that the command make or another command I tried, doesn't exist. When I try
this with LiveCD of Knoppix, it works. I tried to install the following:
http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/WL-167g/Linux_1036.zip. It's a
driver and a utility to get my USB-WLAN-adapter to work. Attention: you
cannnot use the basic commands to install this, you need to run the commands
you find in the readme file! And you will need the following information of
my computer if you try it: rt2500usb. And something else: installing
NeroLinux doesn't work either. I tried both RPM- and DEB-files. My serial
works, because it works on Knoppix. Why can't I install programs?
