Your FIRST choice should always be to install from Repository

Your SECOND choice should be to install from a .deb

Your very last choice should be to compile!!! You can get into a mess with Dependancies...

Look at: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware and http://amitech.50webs.com/installing/index.php.html
