well since your using slackware, just download the
slackware package
and then type as root :
Code:
installpkg tvtime-0.9.12-i686-1.tgz
just to answer your question though when compiling ...
you untar the *.tar.gz file by typing ...
Code:
tar -zxvf tvtime-0.9.12-i686.tar.gz
then go into the directory and type :
Code:
./configure && make
and then install it :
Code:
su -c "make install"
