Hmm, I thought I needed to use tar -xvzf [file].tar.gz, but I don't
know what the "z" does.
On a couple of downloads, I got that flock of "can't chown" messages,
but it looked like everything was there. I don't think I succeeded in
getting the things to work, though, because they needed some other
kind of library or something.
What do "autoconf" and "automake" do?
