Did u get the binary version ???
is it for debian or slack ??
the best way to install it is by using kpackage in slack..
open the downloaded .tgz file with kpackage and select the test and not install first..
if every thing goes fine [ie. no errors reported ..] unselect the test option and install it..
The slack package [binary is below]
