realy no ./configure ?
1. not all packages have a ./configure, there a 'make' is suffisient.
Read de install instructions before.
2. look at the rights of ./configure if there is one.

| 4.  ls (to make sure the untarred package is in /home/downloads)
| 5.  cd package
| 6.  ./configure

See 1-2.

yes, it is.
only 'make install' requires to be root.
