    The easier way is to download RPM for that program and install it through YAST.

    First you have to extract them. From a terminal type:
    Code:
    tar xvzf filename.gz
    Then cd to the directory that the files were extracted to which you will see just above the command line.
    Then read the README and INSTALL file. Most likely it will instruct you to run ./configure, then make and then makefile.
