Try open a terminal, enter "gc" and hit the TAB key twice. This should offer you a list with all commands starting with "gc". You should see something like "gcc" and "gcc-4.3" (or another version number) in the list. If you find that, gcc ist installed.
please run the configure script again. If it throws out any error, please restart it in the following way:
./configure > output.txt
This will create a file called "output.txt", which you can append here.
But if you're still missing make, its clear you miss something
btw.: Nearly everybody i read about with that netbook has erased the linpus and installed a different distribution...
Maybe that would the best solution, but i don't know your skills in installing & configuring Linux
