If it's supposed to be compiled or installed in some special way, the package(s) should include README and/or INSTALL files. Read those carefully trough. Or any other documentation provided...such files tell how the program is supposed to be compiled, if needed, and installed - because not every project works the same way. The "usual way" is to first configure the sources, then compile them and after that execute the install make target;
Code:
./configure
make
make install
Those are done in the source directory; only proceed to the next step if the previous one succeeds (if it fails, you need to find out why, fix it and re-run it before continuing). Two first steps don't require root privileges, but the third usually does. However as this is a kernel-related thing (except the userspace tools maybe), you really should read the documentation files (INSTALL and/or README) so you know what to do exactly.

Thank you.
I find two, README.cycladesZ and README.DAC960. No other README or INSTALL. But I can not open both of them.
