Is that the source for an executable? If so, you should untar it in
your home directory, or /usr/src and compile it from there as root.

Make will install the compiled binary where it belongs, usually with-
out any need to edit it.

../configure
make
make-install

are usually the commands your run from the source directory to do the job.

Read the README. That's why they call it that :-)
