You *don't* run Makefiles from the shell. They arent shell scripts. What you do is type make. make will pick up the Makefile and build your program then its generally make install to install it. Makefiles control the build process so you don't have to guess for yourself what to build and what to link where. Try man make at the prompt. It should build with no problems after you do that right, screen needs to be installed by root of course because it runs setuid.
