    in terminal/konsole, 'cd' to the folder where you saved source code and execute make command again.

    Doesn't "make" usually compile the source code?

    yes ! but i think bigbadbo 'configured' the package with ./configure command and wrote 'compile' here..

    Are there any special instructions in the README.txt or README or readme.txt or readme or INSTALL.txt file that comes with the source code?

    mostly readme/install.txt files have 'parameter' details that you can pass with configure command. some have tweak details too.

    Were you a superuser when you did 'make' and 'make install'?

    you dont need to be 'superuser' for make command. 'superuser' privileges are required for 'make install' only.
