A little CentOS 7 help please :)

I hope one of our Linux gurus can give me a hand with this.

I've just installed CentOS 7 Minimal on a VPS and I'm trying to get SoftEther VPN server working on it, for which I need to download and compile it, (which I've done on 3 other CentOS 5 & 6 VPSs).

However, when I run the make command I get:

[root@wc vpnserver]# make
"grep" command not found.
Installation is aborted.
make: *** [default] Error 1
--- End quote ---

Which is a bit strange as I can use grep from the command line without a problem.

Output of $PATH and whereis:
[root@wc vpnserver]# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
[root@wc vpnserver]# whereis grep
grep: /usr/bin/grep /usr/share/man/man1/grep.1.gz
[root@wc vpnserver]#
--- End quote ---

Any one got any ideas I can try please?

Odd.  Grep is usually in /bin/grep rather than /usr/bin/grep from my experience.

I added /bin to $PATH but it made no difference, (even though there is a /bin/grep).

Forgot to mention it's x64 but I don't think that'll make a difference.

Ath:
Could it be that the make script messes up your $PATH setting ?
Or does it switch to another user-context for executing stuff (sudo <otheruser>) ?

ewemoa:
Link to source code / tarball under consideration?
