</div>>From tar.gz2, I do not know or have enough experience with it, but the previous<br>
<br>
filename.tar.bz2, it is not that hard.<br>
<br>
1) extract the archive with<br>
$ tar -jxvf filename.tar.bz2<br>
<br>
2) change to the directory and read the files README,INSTALL,...,<br>
<br>
$ ./configure<br>
$ make<br>
$ su -c 'make install'<br>
password:<br>
<br>
Usually it is like that, it will depend on the archive. With *.tar.gz, the process is similar only that the file is extracted with<br>
<br>
$ tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz<br>
