try using Mandrake's package repository
Code:
urpmi anjuta
If you still want to build it from source...download the tar file.

open up a terminal window

Code:
tar -zxvf tarfile.tar.gz
use -j option instead of -z if the file ends in .bz2.

Code:
cd /newly-created-dir
Read the README and INSTALL file.

Tux,
