make-install

I have been trying it from a long time now and this time it got my nerves...

The commands make and make install used to install a program from an extracted tar ball never work for some reason...

The make command gives me the error-

 make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

and the make install command gives me the error

 make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

Why are these commands not executing? What should I do to solve this issue?
