bash

I have a bash script that I need to execute. It seems that I can't run in in my terminal because it has a slightly different syntax.

I could run the first file like bash ./configure but it produces a makefile that I can not use. If I try bash make it tells me that it can't execute make.

How do I run this make file in bash?

I tried cd /usr/bin ./bash but it tells me that it can't find bash.

So how do I start bash?
