Emphasis.
If you view your email as HTML anything between the *s is usually
rendered as bold (strong).

First I'd:-
1. Extract the tarball
2. Read all the README files first. (esp. /pkg/README) - as autoconf is
used you may find it is capable of producing a Debian package.
3. Read the output of:-
$ ./configure --help | less
I'd try separating the commands eg.:-
$ make all
$ checkinstall
$ clean
The last is not necessary (unless you try and compile the app twice from
the same extracted archive)
Paths I'm referring to are relative to the extracted tarball.
Disclaimer: I haven't used tarsnap so I'm going from the retailer's
instructions (YMMV).
Cheers
