Compiling & installing programs from source is usually done with the commands:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Hi. I am a newbie to Linux, and I was wondering what is the proper "make" command to install a program from the shell?
Everytime I try and make the install for it, I do the make command first, but then it gives me an error saying it can't be initialized, then whenever I try to make the install I get a message saying "Nothing to be done for Install".
Am I missing something on why I can't get any program installed after extracting the files from the tar.gz file?
Thanks for the help to anyone who responds in advance.

Thank you for the responseI now know how to install programs, allthough I do it a different way, I use Synaptic wich lets me install any program I like, and it's easy to do too.
Thanks again for your help.
