关于tar.gz文件的安装

kaloni

我在安装一个****.tar.gz  的时候    看到这么一句
"通常的安装方法是从安装包的目录执行以下命令"
请问该怎么理解这句?
我在解压之后的目录中找到一个configure文件  
打开终端  把configure拖拉到终端  回车  然后出现几行字
再直接键入make   回车    然后显示找不到文件什么的

tar -xzf *.tar.gz
cd <path>
./configure
make
make install(root用户)

tar -xzf *.tar.gz
cd <path>
./configure
make
make install(root用户)

关于以上的命令我在其他地方也看得到,在install文件里也看得到.我的问题是:
"通常的安装方法是从安装包的目录执行以下命令"
请问该怎么理解这句?
而不是用什么命令.
重点在于"从安装包的目录",
不怕笑话,我还没有成功安装过一个软件呢.所以我很迷惑,无论我怎么操作好像都是错的,这让我快发疯了.

确切的说，如果你想安装一个TARBALL格式的软件。如foobar-1.0.tar.gz，先解压这个软件到你指定的目录下，通常为/usr/local/，然后进入到其中：

1. 
   
2. $cd /usr/local/foobar-1.0
   
3. #read the README FILE first
   
4. $./configure                     
   
5. $make
   
6. $make install
   

复制代码

我这样解释够清楚了吧！！！！

我开始开窍了，呵呵，我一心急起来什么都忘了，原来“从安装包的目录”是用CD命令进去，dos下我就会这样用，linux下我就忘关了，这个说明我真是连linux的一小小部分都没有了解到，我失败。
谢谢这位兄弟耐心说明，谢谢！！

In general, it is suggested to use root only to carry out administrative tasks such as installing (not compiling) software as described by KevinChen in 2nd floor.

As a rule of thumb, source trees should be extracted to somewhere else and compiled by a normal user.  Once compilation is finished, install the software by root.

It is not a good idea to extract your source tree into /usr/local for 2 reasons:

1. /usr/local is usually owned by root, this means you need root privilege to write /usr/local and compile the source codes as root

2. /usr/local may be used as the location for compiled binaries rather than a location for source trees, otherwise, it will be messed up with source trees and binaries.

Further information about the desire installing directory, please read "[color="Blue"]The /usr Versus /usr/local Debate"

On the other hand, it is possible to specify the target installation path of the binaries during configure, e.g.

$tar xf *.tar.gz
$cd <path>
$./configure [color="Blue"]--prefix=/usr
$make
$su
[color="Red"]#make install (root用户)

For detail installation instructions, you should read the relevant documentation such as README and INSTALL etc, supplied with your software.
