not being a programmer or the likes,  by the looks it looks like it is the
wrong make file, as it is looking for a .rpm distro's make file where as we
are using a .deb distro  so my opinion  is that the make file is for the
wrong distro, i have had that on a couple of apps my self, like i suggested
email the company  and see if they have a .deb package or are going to
release one.
