type 'man tar' to see a list of the options you can use with the tar command, 
and even some covienent (and applicable) examples :)

if you are building something from source (as you sound to be doing) the steps 
for the individual program are usually outlined in a file called "INSTALL" 
(in the source directory, once you extract it) or "README". These 
instructions are usually pretty detailed (but, as a rule of thumb, you could 
try './configure', then 'make' and then 'make install')

Cheers,
Gareth
