I think Pascal was saying that you Makefile (not /usr/bin/make) might not be in the same directory as your code. If you don't have a makefile there, you can also do 'make -f pathtomakefile' and emacs will remember it for the next time. If you don't have a makefile at all, it's time to create one. Bonus: Check out M-x next-error. I have both compile and next-error bound to Fn keys since I use them constantly.
