I am in dire straights... it is sad, but i have linux working and am finding difficulty installing software. it is downloaded as a tar.gz file, and i am running a kde platform. it is not an rpm package that i can see.

so how do i install it?
please help..
 
personally I move the tarballs into the /tmp directory, the create a directory for them.

After that it's tar -xzvf foo.tar.gz. Then look for the README and INSTALL files and READ them!

Usually though it's just a matter of ./configure and make install. But...read the directions! 🙂
