filename.tar.bz2, it is not that hard.

1) extract the archive with
$ tar -jxvf filename.tar.bz2

2) change to the directory and read the files README,INSTALL,...,

$ ./configure
$ make
$ su -c 'make install'
password:

Usually it is like that, it will depend on the archive. With *.tar.gz, the process is similar only that the file is extracted with

$ tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz

HTH,

Antonio

Also sometimes tar archives have inside shell script files (like install.sh or upgrade.sh)
You may extract folder from archive, go in it (cd command) and run this script (./install.sh)
