Steps installing Tar.gz
 

Please,can you give me a clue on how to use the commands :
-make
-make install..
in order to compile a program?
That's all? Now I can execute it under kde? thanks

you open a terminal and change to the directory that you want to un[pack the fiel ni, normally /usr/src. then unpack it iwth "tar zxvf /path/to/file.tar.gz" then cd to the directory that created, then "./configure" then "make" then "make install" should be all you need.

i suggest having a look on the net for some newbie howto's for questions as trivial as this. it'll save you a lot of time.

Also there is usually an INSTALL file contained in most such packages (if not install information is contained in the README). This file usually give a step by instruction on how to install what was in the package.

Try one of the links in my sig, or head over to www.linux.org and take their tutorial. That tutorial tought me a TON.

Cool
