glibc install help

glibc configure runs fine, but neither gmake nor make run.

[root@Images glibc-2.3.2]# gmake
Makeconfig:84: sysdeps/../config.make: No such file or directory
Makerules:782: no file name for `include'
The GNU C library has not been configured.
Run `configure' to configure it before building.
Try `configure --help' for more details.
gmake: *** [sysdeps/../config.status] Error 1

any ideas?
