it is good practice to install things not in a Debian package in /usr/local.
Nothing from Debian is ever put there so anything in /usr/local are indeed
local additions.
so
cd src
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install # this puts the files in the system
then try the next app.
Note, gnokii is packaged in Debian (at least under unstable) so you could also
either grab the package or simply grab the package source and make your own
version.
