Dot is part of a nice graph visualization package available from AT&T
Research:

Although it is useful and you should consider downloading it, it
isn't a prerequisite for installation of SUIF.  Ignore the warning
about dot for now.  If you install it later, just delete the files

  Makefile.std nci_setup.csh nci_setup.sh

and reissue the

  sh ./install.sh

command to rebuild them.

In private email, you said:

My best guess is that you haven't set the NCIHOME environment
variable.  Step number 8 in the README file should be moved before
step 6.  That is, you should use either nci_setup.csh or
nci_setup.sh to augment your compilation environment before you
first run `make'.

If my guess is wrong, please tell us more precisely what steps you
have taken before invoking make and what error messages you are
seeing.
