Just upgraded my computer to Mac OS X Lion and went to terminal and typed "make" but it says: -bash: make: command not found

Where did the "make" command go?

You need to install Xcode from App Store.

Then start Xcode, go to Xcode->Preferences->Downloads and install component named "Command Line Tools". After that all the relevant tools will be placed in /usr/bin folder and you will be able to use it just as it was in 10.6.
