Apt-get :: GNU Make apt-get

Greetings.
I have used apt-get several times from hd-installed DSL(0.5.1) successfully
including GNU Gcc, aumix, Scite, etc. I'd like to compile kernel 2.6.1 but I
need Make. Here's the syntax:

root# make --version
make: command not found
root# apt-get update
root# apt-get install make
reading pkg list... done
building dep tree... done
The following extra pkg will be installed:
fileutils
The following NEW pkg will be installed:
fileutils make
0 upgrd, 2 newly installed, 0 to rm and 0 not upgrdd
Need 0B/1097kb of archives. After unpacking 2773kb will be used.
[Y/n] Y
(Reading db ... xxxx files and dirs currently installed)
Unpacking fileutils (from .../fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/archives/fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/bin/chgrp', which is also in pkg coreutils
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/archives/fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb
E: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I downloaded a recent Make (tar -xzvf_/usr/lib) , but when I input ./configure the output is:

chkng for BSD-cmpt install... /usr/bin/install -c
chkng whether build environ is sane... yes
chkng for gawk... no (apt-got gawk, but no register here)
chkng for mawk.... mawk
chkng whether make sets #{MAKE}... no
chkng whether make sets #{MAKE}... (cached) no
chkng for gcc... gcc
chkng for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler
cannot create executables
chk 'config.log' for details.

Is there a better way to do any of this within DSL or way's to force the Make install without fileutils dependency? Any help is appreciated.

I've had the exact same problem getting make to install.

edit /etc/apt/source.conf point it to testing source

I changed 'stable' to 'testing' and now I get:
This problem

I am coming up with the same problem with apt-get, trying to get make to compile stuff.
