there's a bunch of stuff on this in a learn linux thing that i used. just google learn linux.
anyway if you want to know how to do it now here it is:
first extract it (the .bz2 part) do this either through GUI or terminal
second you need to untar it (the .tar bit) use 'tar -xzjf *nameoffile*
now you come to the source file (.src). These can be tricky if you don't have a C compiler installed. YOU MUST HAVE A C COMPILER SUCH AS GCC/G++. I would recommend just using apt/synaptic for downloads. But if you want to
cd to directory
(in terminal) './configure' 'make' 'install'
The reason i don't like these is you will probably have to resolve any dependencies yourself.
