I tried this

cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.1.tar.gz
tar xvf make-4.1.tar.gz
cd make-4.1/
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
rm -rf make-4.1.tar.gz make-4.1

but on the make and sudo make install step I get the following

segmentation fault make
segmentation fault sudo make install

respectively. No more no less. I'm completely baffled and clueless on what to do next

I'm running ubuntu 18.04

EDIT This is what I get when I run type -a make and apt policy make (Shell prompt is from oh-myzsh)

➜  ~ type -a make   
make is /usr/local/bin/make
make is /usr/bin/make
➜  ~ apt policy make
make:
  Installed: 4.1-9.1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 4.1-9.1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 4.1-9.1ubuntu1 500
        500 https://zim.client-eng.a2z.com/ubuntu/prod bionic/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

    make is already at version 4.1 in the Bionic main repository - why are you trying to build it from source?

  • for some reason my make version is 3.8. And I realized I am not able to make anything. Running make always results in a segfault

  • wow thank you! I actually figured it out from here, i have no idea how the erroneous version of make got into /usrlocal/bin! your comments were a lifesave, I replcaed it after backing it up and everything works again!!
