Firstly, check www.slackbuilds.org to see if someone has already created a more easy to use SlackBuild script for the software you want to install. Also take a look at the HOWTO section on SlackBuilds.org.

To use src2pkg, last time I used it you just ran src2pkg yourfile.tar.bz2 and it should automagically compile and create an installable package (.tgz) for you.

.tgz is tar.gz. Let's get that one out of the way.

I don't know src2pkg. If you have it, read - it's not fatal.
Standard thing is to compile software (./configure && make), and then do something like

make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install
cd /tmp/foo
makepkg ../foo-version.tgz

the ../ in the package name is important, so it won't start packaging itself. That can then be installed with installpkg.

Also you might want to check the src2pkg tool
http://www.src2pkg.net/

I use src2pkg on occasion, normally all you need to do is type:

# sr2pkg source-code-file.tar.bz2

It might help to know what program you are trying to install.

Hello. 
You are trying to do a system-wide install of emesene using this script, which is a very bad thing to do. 
Seriously, you do NOT want to do this, since it can break other python apps, and emesene too! 
Follow my advice: just run the "emesene" script that is in this very same directory and you're done. emesene is running and your system is safe. It's a win-win, don't you think? 
Thanks for trying emesene. 
FATAL! Running '/usr/bin/env python ./setup.py install' has failed with error: 1  
Try using INSTALL_LINE 'make -i install'  Exiting...

Use the SlackBuild here: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.1/network/emesene/. Read http://slackbuilds.org/howto/ to learn how to use the SlackBuild and then install the resulting package.

You will probably want to read http://slackbuilds.org/howto/

To know how to use emesene.tar.gz + emesene-1.6.3.tar.gz
