You need to install the package make-3.74-1.deb it depends on
libc-4.6.27.6.deb I do believe.  Then pray you have the gcc installed.
You can do this by running dpkg -i <filename.deb> on the command line
as root (you do need of course the filename.deb you are referencing). 
You can get the above mentioned files from:

	ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/debian-0.93R6/binary-i386/devel/
  
Otherwise you can install them by running dselect and selecting the
appropiate packages (make?). But who would want to do that?  :)
