Do the commands here work? https://www.ubuntugeek.com/profile-clea ... files.html

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graysky/utils
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install profile-cleaner

Carmars suggestion will probably help fix your issue.

But for future reference, assuming that you have cmake installed (Which it comes with Zorin), when Make Install fails, it is often due to missing dependencies.
So for software that you must manually build and install, always check your dependencies (and where you got the software, check their "Depends on" list) if the Make Install flops.
