^^^^^^^
Normally there isn't an unique install command, like unix isn't unique ...
Change to the newly created directory (cd xxx) and read the README (yes) or INSTALL file
there. A frequent procedure is
1) ./configure
2) make
3) make install (you have to be become root to install your compiled
program)
HTH
PD
1) I don't know which program you're going to install, but make sure there
isn't a debian package yet.
2) Maybe a basic book on linux could clarify those procedures (for free you
could have a look at www.linuxdoc.org before)
