Some guidelines i can share with you.

1. Read the "INSTALL" file.
2. Read the "README" file if there is not "INSTALL" file.
3. It should be quite straightforward then.

ya.. compiling is nothing hard, just simple things, every package includes Installation instruction file..
ie. you download file named. xyz.tar.gz, first uncompress then look for install instructions and follow them.
If still stucked.. ask here.

Btw, dragoncity.. seen you after long time.. hw r u !
