It depends on which shell you are using.  For csh and tcsh, use

	make >& errorfile

If you want to see the output on your screen AND save the output to a
file, use the "tee" command as follows

	make |& tee errorfile

The above assumes you are using csh or tcsh.  But for bash or sh, you
would use

	make > errorfile 2>&1                  
        make 2>&1 | tee errorfile
