I think what you should be doing is

./firefox-installer

As I think its already compiled.

oh alright thanks, i was just really using that one as an example. im trying to get my wireless card working (dwl g630) i saw a post somewhere around here that said i need ndiswrapper so i am trying to get that running. would i do the same thing?

No you need to compile ndiswrapper against your kernel-source, What distro are you using?

SuSE 9.1

This NDiswrapper for Suse 9.1 webpage should help.
