Retrying as you suggest as root, the first command returns the root prompt
#make
gcc - g -02  -c -o active.o active.c
make: gcc: Command not found
make: *** [active.o] Error 127
that is, as if the alis was not activated.

Just to detail what errors:
#apt-get install gcc
gcc: Depends: gcc-4.0 (>=4.0.2-5) but it is not installable.

#apt-get install gcc-4.0
Reading..
Building dependency tree...
Package 4.0 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may 
mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available 
from another source.
However the following packages replace it:
gcc-4.0-locales
W. (a series of warnings that Couldn't stat source package list at http:...
E: Package gcc-4.0 has no installation candidate.

My sources.list from which the net installation was carried out with only main 
and the row end (subsequently, apt-get update did nothing):
deb http://debian.inode.at/debian-amd64/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.inode.at/debian-amd64/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free

thanks a lot for your interest and kind advice
