    Things like this are pretty easy to find with Google.
    Have you tried this way? Are you getting errors when you try?

    as root

    Code:
    tar -zxvf nameof.tar.gz
    this command above is the equivalent of unzip in windows (it uncompresses an archive)

    then usually (but always read INSTALL file or README etc)

    Code:
    ./configure
make
make install
    you usually can do configure and make as a regular user and make install as root. But these are very generic questions and the INSTALL file or whatever it is called in each particular case will give detailed instructions and if you still don't know then ask.
    All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer. All New Users Read This!!! If you have a grub problem please look at GRUB MANUAL

    Have you installed the gcc compiler?

    Yast - Software - Software Management

    Search for gcc

    There will be a lot of packages for different purposes but normally just the main gcc package is enough.
